As you've probably seen phpMyAdmin is not a linux/unix/windows program.  It is an OS 
independent PHP bunch of scripts and as such needs to be put in a directory that can 
be accessed via HTTP in a php enabled environment, which is done by default in FC3.  
The quick and dirty is to put it in the /var/www/html directory in an obscure directory.  

What is not installed by default is MySQL server.  

Regardless, you won't be able to access MySQL anyway unless you update SELinux 
and IPTables as the port is blocked by default in the original install.

Have fun and welcome to the mad, mad world of Fedora.
