You need to enable the development repo. Can be done via a config file change 
(in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo), but not recommended. I'd use:

# yum --enablerepo=development install kernel

That only enables the development repo for that calling of yum.

Note that Axel isn't packaging up kernel modules for every single development 
kernel though, since there's typically at least one new kernel per day, but 
he is starting to roll packages for what will be FC5.
