You should read the FC release notes. Pine has been rm'd due to licensing issues.
Having said that Mike Harris has a set of pine rpms that will work with Fedora.
As I understand things though, the license that the UW programs are released under
does not allow you to modify the programs and redistribute them.

IIRC uw-imapd is also depreciated and likely to be dropped in a future release
due to the same licensing issues.

HTH,
