No. Building yelp 2.9 on FC3 is not so easy - it depends upon on other  
development components of gnome that are newer than what FC3 ships  
with.

You might be able to build it in a rawhide environment, but if you  
updated everything in fc3 that you needed in order to build yelp, you  
would end up breaking other stuff and essentially have a rawhide  
system.

I want man and info support in yelp as well - it use to be there in an  
earlier version of gnome (2.2 or 2.4?) and then for whatever reason was  
removed before a replacement was necessary.

If you really want the new yelp, you will probably have to change your  
system to rawhide, which has broken packages/dependencies from time to  
time.
