I went from FC1 to FC3 with almost no problem at all. Backing up your current database is a very good idea, but why the database restore? It should all be there still... Also, there's not much reason not to try yum or (my preference) apt-get to upgrade your mythtv rpms. I've had mixed results using apt-get to upgrade distros, and wouldn't recommend it for going from FC2 to FC3, but as for upgrading mythtv, applying updates, and adding other extra packages apt-get can't be beat.
