I tried to get VMWare Server running on Fedora 9. Notices that it needs

would not "yum localinstall vmware.rpm" take it automagicaly?
No, because the vmware...rpm is not specific to fedora and hence does
not contain proper requires for fedora. You need to add other packages
to make it work and allow the kernel module compile.
As an aside, would it be possible to include in Fedora an 'requires'
package for vmware, that causes all the required parts to be installed
except vmware itself ?
That way it has no external requirements. It also doesn't do anything
when installed other than ensure certain other libraries and tools are
installed to help an external package work.
In the packaging guidelines, the most applicable part I found was:
