Todd,
Thanks for the advice, I found that rpm -e worked fine. My installation
appears clean now without any orphans or missing dependencies.

I've cleaned up most things, but I'm struggling with a few. For
example, libdvdread still comes from fc6 insted of fc7.
This is caused by the atrpms repo having a newer libdvdread package
for FC6 than the fedora repo has for F7. (0.9.7-4.fc6.at >
0.9.7-2.fc7)
If I attempt to remove libdvdread, dozens of packages will get
removed. I can certainly reinstall them, but, I'm wondering if
there is another package-cleanup trick I can use to resolve some of
these issues.
I can think of a few ways (disclaimer: I haven't had my morning sugar
intake yet). You could use rpm -e --nodeps libdvdread to erase the
libdvdread package without touching any dependencies. Then yum
install libdvdread to bring it back.
Or, you could use the yum-allowdowngrade plugin which adds an
--allow-downgrade option to yum. Then you could try to install the
"older" libdvdread using yum --allow-downgrade libdvdread-0.9.7-2.fc7
