The message is displayed before the radiusd.conf file is read, and since neither the logdir or log_file directives are set, radiusd sends the message to stdout.
However. In FC3 the /etc/init.d/radiusd startup script called a function which actually started radiusd using the 'initlog' command. This hid the stdout message I now see. In FC5 initlog is deprecated, and they just start radiusd directly. Hence I now see the message.
