If you want to update everything to fedora 13 using yum (though of course 
the recommended way is to boot off a f13 iso image) then it should be 
enough to download and install (by hand) the fedora-release package from 
the f13 tree, and then run yum. If you want to pick and choose packages, 
you could probably create some fedora 13 repo files with a bit of 
judicious copying and editing of the files in /etc/yum.repos.d
