The repoquery command, from yum-utils, is perfect for this task
(though it will just query the repodata rather than look at local
packages -- generally I think this is preferable, but it's not exactly
what you asked for).

To find all the dependencies for qt3, this should do the trick:

$ repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps qt3 | sort
