AH yes, forgot about that.  I guess the packages it is wanting to replace on 
my machine mostly come from EPEL, not the SL repositories.

But there is one:

# yum list environment-modules
Loaded plugins: downloadonly
Installed Packages
environment-modules.x86_64     3.2.7b-6.el6 
@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201102250955.x86_64
Available Packages
environment-modules.x86_64     3.2.8a-1.el6.rf     rpmforge
