The answer is no. There is no netdump-client package any more. The last full release to have a netdump-client package was RHEL4. The server package netdump-server only exists to communicate with older clients.
You cannot grab the RHEL4 package and use it on newer systems either because the client package worked with code that was in the kernel that no longer there.
If you're looking for a crash recovery/post mortem solution for newer systems, you should use kdump. It is much more robust.
