There's a circular dep on pm-utils when building pm-utils.
See bottom of the previous build-job by Peter Jones
for pm-utils-0.99.4-1.fc8.src.rpm

 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=154848&name=root.log

 ...
 pciutils                ppc64      2.2.6-3.fc8      core               89 k
 pm-utils                ppc64      0.99.3-11.fc8    core               27 k
 procps                  ppc64      3.2.7-16.1.fc8   core              225 k
 ...

The change with added

  Requires: vbetool

was in post 0.99.3-12.fc8 cvs. So, the pm-utils in the buildroots
requires vbetools for all archs, and build pm-utils requires pm-utils.
