Err...  You shouldn't need kernel-source to build kernel modules.  The
right procedure to build kernel modules is to use /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/build.  This works with 2.6, so you had the entire FC2 development
cycle to migrate.  It's time to move on, and leave behind those who
didn't migrate in a timely manner, wouldn't you think?
