Just did some Googling.  This "libgcrypt11-1.4.0-15.el5.i386" package 
definitely is in the ATrpms repository.

The libgcrypt-1.4.4 package provides a newer version of the GNUTLS 
library, which is libgcrypto.so.11.  It's that file that's giving you 
fits here.  I ran into a similar issue with another package, so what I 
did was rename the MyConflictingFile.Whatever (in your case, 
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11) to MyConflictingFile.Whatever.bak.  Now, on my 
system, "libgcrypt.so.11" is actually a symlink to the real file, 
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11.5.2.  Therefore, I'd just rename both of them 
to have the extension ".bak" or something similar.

Then, try your yum update again and see what happens.

If that doesn't work, then I'd try installing the 
libgcrypt-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm package with rpm's "--force" command.  
Since it's just a newer version of the GNUTLS library, that shouldn't 
break anything (I know, Famous Last Words).
