Just posted a spec file for a unichrome xvmc cvs myth build on atrpms-devel. 
Even builds fine on my dual Athlon. Not sure yet how things are going to be 
handled with these packages though, because you can only have one XvMC type 
and this build conflicts with the main nVidia XvMC-enabled build on 
ATrpms[1]...

[1] While working on this unichrome build, I uncovered the reason why nVidia 
XvMC doesn't work in the ATrpms builds, and have sent Axel the one-line fix 
to enable it. I can now select and enable XvMC on my HDTV box, but it 
performs like crap (locks the frontend when skipping around in HDTV content) 
compared to plain old Xv.
