Others can comment better (I am still a yum novice) but I think you can
break the problem into two parts.
1)Building and maintaining the yum repository, and
2)Providing the repository to your network
Could you not build (yum-arch) the repository from a RH/FC station and
target a NFS share on the Debian Server.
After that the standard Debian services (ftp/http/nfs) could be used to
provide the repository to your network.
This should not require any updates to your Woody.
