Are you getting the version of snort from the yum repo or from snort.org directly? If it's from snort.org (which, based on the rpm name, I'm guessing it is) there is a fairly concise howto as to how to install the latest version of snort for F14 ( http://www.snort.org/assets/154/Snort_2.9.0.1_FC14_Base.pdf ). And, FWIW, the latest x64 version of libpcap for F14 appears to be 1.1.1 so it appears that if you do a yum install libpcap you should have a version of libpcap that is new enough to handle the version of snort that is in the F14 repos (and the version that is on snort.org, which, from reading the install guide, you have to compile and install, not install from rpm).
Actually:
[root@prophead ~]# rpm -qa | grep libpcap | grep 86_64 libpcap-1.1.1-3.fc14.x86_64 libpcap-devel-1.1.1-3.fc14.x86_64

Yea, I wasn't being quite that exact. Figured proving that the libpcap in the repo was > 1 was probably enough.
