Though this isn't directly relevant to excluding the kernel packages
from updating, I thought you might want to consider this as an
alternative.
You can make a simple script which will check if the specific module
exists for the kernel (most are in /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/ or a
sub-folder thereof) on every reboot.  For example, I just upgraded
from 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 to 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5, my computer booted up ran
a shell script the checked if the kernel module existed ( if [ -e
"/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/ndiswrapper.ko" ]; then ...) and built
it when the check failed.
That way you can keep the kernel up-to-date and not worry about having
to recompile everything with upgrades.

Just my two cents.
