Just remember that if there's a new package (will it be called php-5.0.4-10.6? something like that) at the fedora repo and you update your system php-gd will be without t1lib again.
I don't know if there's anything you can do to at least get notified if this happens. Maybe you want to ask again in a fedora-specific forum.
