Yes there are, see 
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/buildsys/2012-November/004004.html

repositories but getting pulled into DVD images too (or at least were at

Should be doable with repoquery, but a custom script is likely to do a 
better job. I can have a look when I'm a bit more awake than now, its
