I imagine you could

  rpm -ivh <kernel-rpm-here>

any kernel (replacing "<kernel-rpm-here>" with the desired kernel) and then
pick it from the boot menu when you reboot.  If it fails to run, you can
reboot again and pick a different kernel.  Of course, different major kernel
versions expect some different support files, but that's another issue.
