It's a huge dependency nest.

The way I did it was to install everything via yum,
and then remove the MythTV RPMs by hand.

So, something like:
yum install mythtv-suite
rpm -qa | grep myth > pkgs.txt
rpm -e `cat pkgs.txt`

Then from there, I only had to install a few -devel
packages (no more than 10, I'm sure) via yum.  From
there, I had no problems building my own binaries from
SVN.
