Why not just grab the source RPM and modify the spec file to make sure Amarok is 
not built with the MySQL requirement (I'm guessing it's a configure flag, which 
you'll find in the spec) ?

Check out these links:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/SRPMS/amarok-1.2.4-6.fc4.src.rpm

1. rpmbuild quick starter.
2. Amarok source RPM.

You might have to install certain build-dependencies (-devel packages 
w/dependencies). These can easily be installed with yum.

And for a slightly more "political" reply, I think one should have a very large 
music collection to justify the need for MySQL when there is sqlite. But then 
again, it's only the client libs, in this case.
