Hi,
the Fedora maintainer of TeX Live provides a repository for TeX Live 2010 :
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive
This may be better than using the upstream installation. And so you can help
to improve this packaging by using it and reporting bugs :-).
But if you can't/don't want to remove your TeX Live installation, a (bad)
solution could be to build an empty RPM that will simply contain a
"Provides: texlive > 2007" or something like this to fool R packages.
