There's a tarball; but I'm not really competent to handle tarballs, and
usually mess up royally when I try. I'll wait instead, if I can with hope.

What I really want is to be able to command "yum install firefox" with
some suitable yum.conf; but I can manage "rpm -Uvh" when there's an rpm to
download.

I'm pretty sure, after looking hard with google, rpmfind, freshmeat, and a
couple others, that there ain't no sich of a thing -- yit.

Anybody have a prognostication on when and where it might spring into
existence?

you can download a precompiled version on
http://www.thecodefactory.org/mozilla/
it works very well with mandrake 10.1 on a G3 ibook.
just unpack it and run with ./firefox :)
bye.
