IMHO it should be done in yum. I often ran into this problem already
during normal yum usage (e.g. built tests outside a build system /
directly from CVS). Typing 
$ yum install XFree86-devel
is easier and a lot faster faster then
$ yum provides XFree86-devel
<filter result>
$ yum install xorg-x11-devel
