XFree86-libs is probably being removed in favor of xorg packages.  Try
updating with ignoring all the xorg packages and see if the dependencies
still arise.  Otherwise update directly to all the xorg package set
(either download locally and use rpm -Uvh xorg*.rpm or yum install
xorg*).

Verify you are connected to a mirror that is in sync and has all the
xorg packages available.  I updated tonight from the USC mirror (the
up2date sources entry for this mirror is below).
