This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can
launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command.  You may
need to edit your up2date channels configuration.  Within
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources enable the following line:
yum updates-testing http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/4/$A...

Since the headers directory is empty for FC4, maybe this bit of advice
should be updated?

No, since up2date now uses yum repomd, it no longer needs the 
headers directory.  Though it'd be great if they could get the applet to 
use repomd too!

It appears to look for the headers if you use the yum keyword, though:

[whooper@FC4 ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/up2date -l
There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was:
