You can use Mandrake RPMs in RedHat generally - I am not personally aware
of any conflicts but I'm sure they exist (especially as the two distros
continue to diverge).  I suppose you could say that there's only one way
to answer your question :)

Redhat provides a lapack
RPM: http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/lapack-3.0-9.i386.html

However, it does not contain libblas.  In fact, it depends on libblas
already existing, and one can get this library from the Redhat RPM "blas": 
http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/blas-3.0-9.i386.html

For future reference, if you're looking for things like this on a RedHat
system, just go to http://www.redhat.com/apps/download/, and type the file
that you are looking for in the "By Keyword" box - that's how I found the
blas package just now.
