How secure is a current Fedora (9) system without SELinux? Of course it
is less secure than the same system with SELinux enabled, but is it
still at the same level of security as any other Linux distribution that
doesn't come with SELinux enabled? or are there packages that depend on
SELinux for their security, eg services that run as root on Fedora in
stead of as an unpriviledged user, assuming that SELinux takes care of
limiting root to what the service is supposed to do?

SELinux is a additional security layer above and beyond the regular security features. Nothing in Fedora would solely rely on SELinux to provide the basic security.
