Replying to myself...

I was able to find the rpm by using the websites referenced in the
repo.  I can update everything else using yum and then install this
one package manually and things should work fine.

This still leaves me with a question, though.  If I can find the rpm
by looking in the repo, why can't yum find it?  Does it refuse to show
old packages even when the version is specified?

    # ls kernel*
    kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
    #

    # yum info kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
    Setting up repositories
    Reading repository metadata in from local files
