Funny, I just answered exacly this question this afternoon. Attached is a 
slightly modified yummain.py and a small shell script that is suitable to 
generated package lists out of yum commands. Just virtually install the 
package you are interested in into an empty build root.

The scripts may need a little tweaking and if it breaks you keep the pieces.
