Whatever you do, don't install via RPM and via source.  You'll end up 
with two copies of most of the binaries because the source build ends 
up in /usr/local while the RPM installs in other places.

The best thing you could do would be to fetch and install the HylaFAX 
SRPM and then get CVS.  Edit VERSION in CVS to be 4.2.0 (or whatever it 
is you want to call your new version).  Change the "hylafax" CVS 
directory name to "hylafax-4.2.0" or whatever your version is.  Then 
tarball it... 'tar czvf hylafax-4.2.0.tar.gz hylafax-4.2.0' and put the 
tarball into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/.  Edit the hylafax.spec file and 
change the version to 4.2.0 or whatever your version is.  Then build 
your new HylaFAX RPM.

I'm always happy to share my CVS-built RPMs with anyone that asks for 
them.  I also usually add some development (not yet CVS-worthy) patches 
also, so my RPMs aren't for everyone.  Of course, I may only do this 
until April (at which point RedHat discontinues support for all 
non-enterprise versions), and then I may need to find a new distro 
(Debian?, unless some other organization picks up where RedHat is 
halting support).
