This subject is covered by document 123210.1 in Oracle's Metalink. Please read it for details.
If I understand the documentation, rman has three major release levels - 8.0, 8.1 and 9.2. If you want to manage your backups from a single catalog database, you have to create three rman repositories in an Oracle 9.2 database.
The rman 8.0.6 repository can manage backups for Oracle 8.0.4, 8.0.5, and 8.0.6 databases.
The rman 8.1.7 repository can manage backups for Oracle 8.1.5, 8.1.6, and 8.1.7 databases.
The rman 9.2.0 repository can manage backups for Oracle 9.0.1 and 9.2.0 databases.
