IMHO yes, but just the Mesa-libGL, not the other package.

$ rpm -ql xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      17 20. Nov 05:08 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 ->
libGL.so.1.0.6111
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  453728 20. Nov 05:08 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.6111

The NVidia driver package comes with it's own GL libraries. I would
physically uninstall the Mesa-libGL RPM and reinstall it with switch
"--justdb". So RPM thinks it is installed and you are not annoyed by
future RPM actions that the missing package fails in dependency. So did
I.
