It looks like xdvik-22.84.13-15.fc9 has this problem fixed, it now provides 
tetex-xdvi = 3.0-99 which should be newer than the fc8 update.

Try installing the newer xdvik from rawhide:
yum --enable-repo=development update xdvik

If the new package doesn't fix it, one option would be to just use 
--exclude=tetex-xdvi for awhile, even making a yum alias if you want to:
alias yum="yum --exclude=tetex-xdvi"

in your .bashrc will do the trick (don't forget this is there...)

Did you try using yum-versionlock and adding xdvik to your 
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list?
It should have prevented anything from changing xdvik, which updating to 
tetex-xdvi would do.

I think the new package should fix this however.
