Why is boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz included in the kernel RPM? Why is it
not in the grub RPM instead? The reason I ask is that, when using
Fedora's kernel, splash.xpm.gz is installed on my PowerPC-based system.
Yaboot is used instead of grub on PowerPC.

what?
on my x86 fc3 system splash.xpm.gz is part of fedora-logos package
in the development i386 tree splash.xpm.gz is part of fedora-logos packages
in fact the version of fedora-logos is the same in fc3 as in
development at the moment.
are you really really sure /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz on your system is
part of the kernel rpm?

Same here - on x86_64 its in fedora-logos.

Oops. Let me rephrase my question why is splash.xpm.gz a part of the
fedora-logos... Well, that makes a little more sense I suppose (obvious
trademark-type material should not go in GRUB RPM). Sorry for the
confusion. I suppose /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz will remain on my system
while I patiently wait for GRUB 2's Mac support? I'll concede that a
fedora-logos-grub package would be a bit much.

Yes, you do however have better luck as we release a testing tree of
Fedora Core 3 so get all excited
And as Jeremy said, its probably a good idea to make fedora-logos *not*
arch specific

Its fedora-logos-1.1.29-1, I just installed FC-3 on PowerPC (fresh
install) to make sure
Looks like fedora-logos needs a fix, but the funny thing is, when you
take a look at the fedora-logos.spec file, it has a nice little stub of
information that mentions the /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz bit should be
ifarch i386, but its not been implemented/changed :)
I guess this is a peril of having fedora-logos as noarch, as opposed to
making it arch-specific

There's no way to fix it without making fedora-logos arch specific. And
the value in having it as noarch (and thus the reduced build system
load, mirror space requirements, etc) outweigh the few kilobytes it puts
on people's systems who don't need it
