Yeah, it's a complete pain in the neck.  I've not found a force option
with yum, but what I do, for example, in installing RT3, is use 
yum-downloader, do a download only of the rpmforge package 
(as in this case) and then do rpm --force -ivh <package>.

(I go into more detail on my page about installing rt3 at
http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/rt3.html, in case you're
not familiar with any of the steps above.)

Buffy: I don't wanna' bug Giles. He's still kinda' twitchy
when it comes to the subject of Angel.

Xander: Oh, it must be that whole 'Angel killed his girlfriend and
tortured him' thing, and Giles is petty when it comes to stuff like
that.
