I'm not sure why everyone else seems to be looking for a more complicated
solution... just download the ppc rpm package from here (you can also find
it by entering "unrar" on http://rpmfind.net/ or http://rpm.pbone.net/) :

http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/yellowdog/3.0/unrar/

Install it and run "unrar x <archive name>" to uncompress an archive to the
current working directory. For me in Fedora Core 2 (not sure about YDL3,
but YDL4 should be the same), the graphical file-roller application is then
able to open .rar files directly by clicking on them in nautilus.
