FWIW, I tried that route but it turned out to be easier to simply take the fc4 srpms and rebuild them on am el4 machine. The way the packages are setup on dag differs from they way the fc rpms are arranged so it is possible to install yum and all of its deps but still not have a working yum. Using the fc4 sqlite and elementree solves that. It was as simple as doing an rpmbuild on the el4 machine. Who knows, you might even be able to take the fc4 binaries and install them but I did not try. For the record I did get yum working with the dag packages but it was much more fiddley.
