I have found after several different installations on Fedora. The rpm's method did not work for me (even with the lirc-devel). What I did was compile the lirc package from source as described on Justin's page http://freevo.webalias.com. This needed some modifications with the recent release of the udev system (Fedora 3 or 4) because of the way the /dev directory is dynamically created at boot time. I know there are better ways of doing it but I just added ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/lirc in the rc.local file to create the device manually. Just last weekend I upgraded one of my machines from Fedora 2 to Fedora 4 and went through some pains with lirc. But it works great now.
So in a nutshell, maybe try going the from source route with lirc first. Then see if the pylirc rpm package will install. Not sure if it will solve anything, but I have had good luck that way in the past.
