I use RH Linux, and I too use apt-get for just about anything I need to
install via RPM. It really takes the pain out of installing
dependencies. With that said, if you want to apt-get these packages, why
not do so? They're all available from the default repository used by the
version of apt-get that I installed:

/home/garry: apt-cache pkgnames | grep libgd

Perhaps you could compile said list and add it to the FAQ. You can put
apt-get at the top of the list.
Another site that I find useful is rpmfind.net. Of course you can always
google to find them too.
