I ended up removing libmusicbrainz with 

# yum remove libmusicbrainz

and letting it handle removing all the dependencies as well.  Then I took 
Alexander Dolloz's advice, and disabled all the respositories except for the 
core and extras repositories.  I was then able to install libmusicbrainz and 
all of the software that depended on it just fine.  I also dropped a note to 
the guys at the kde-redhat project.
