cobolt_dink, you can add to your configuration so that yum will search more repositories to easily get extra packages (like xmms-mp3) automatically. Fedora's "official" repos are pretty limited in some ways, so I'd recommend doing that aside from the MP3 issue anyway. But even before that, are you saying you already have an rpm file for the package? If that's the case, you should be able to do "rpm -Uvh xmms-mp3.rpm" (or whatever the file's called) and bypass yum altogether. That won't do fancy things like automatically resolve dependencies, of course, but it is the standard way to add a single package, and that should do the trick here. yum and the yum repositories are for downloading and installing packages in one go, so it sounds like you've already done half the job.
