This question is off-topic for this list and is better suited to
fedora-list.

However, now you're here:

You can get unifdef by downloading it from your network-connected
machine from here:
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/Fedora/RPMS/unifdef-1.171-5.fc6.x86_64.rpm

Transfer it to your target machine using your USB stick, then install
it using RPM:

# rpm -Uvh unifdef-1.171-5.fc6.x86_64.rpm

(this package may actually be on your install media).
