you are really very new around here :)
Let me introduce you to "Jarod's guide":

At some time in the past RH decided not to ship the source in a
non-src.rpm package. The sources are available from the src.rpm, it's
a bit more involved, but you get them (but unconfigured). It should be
mentioned in the README/RELEASE-NOTES of Fedora Core somehwere.

Yes, that's the idea. Get the packages from ATrpms (look at Jarod's
guide on how to set this all up) and then just configure lirc, no need
to build it.
