It does.  What I had to do:

First, do a /etc/rc.d/init.d/lircd stop.  Uninstall the old lirc
0.6.6 RPM.  If you don't, you're going to run into problems later on
because the Mandrake-supplied programs will be "higher up" in the
path and will get executed instead of the ones made by 0.7pre1.

Next, to compile lirc CVS I had to upgrade automake.  urpme automake,
urpmi automake1.7

You're also going to need to install the kernel-source.

Ran the ./autogen.sh and setup program, chose "TV Cards", Hauppauge
(newer i2c), then ran make and make install

I used the lircd.conf file that comes in the lirc CVS for the
Hauppuage and put it into /etc

Made sure that the /lib/modules/kernel-version/blahblah/3rdparty/lirc
gets moved out of /lib/modules so that the depmod doesn't get
confused (if the urpme doesn't get rid of it)

Did a modprobe ivtv _then_ a modprobe lirc_i2c

On my system, this gives me a /dev/lirc/0

Ran lircd from the command line to make sure that it works:
$ lircd --device=/dev/lirc/0 -n

Ran irw from another window to confirm that it works, and it does.

Added this to rc.local:
echo "Modprobing PVR-250"
modprobe ivtv
echo "Modprobing lirc"
modprobe lirc_i2c
echo "Starting lircd"
lircd --device=/dev/lirc/0

Then created a ~/.lircrc that I liked, and now it's running in the
Pundit in my livingroom.
