Thanks for all the tips!

For the benefit of others... I managed to get 389 to install with the 
following steps... Since I only want the 389 packages and associated 
deps from epel I used includepkgs in a couple of the repo files...

1) download the epel-389-ds-base.repo mentioned on the 389 downloads page...
2) enable epel-389-ds-base AND epel-testing-389-ds-base in the 
epel-389-ds-base.repo file..
3) Optionally add includepkgs=389-* idm-* to both of these repos...
4) install yum-conf-epel and enable epel-testing in epel-testing.repo
5) Optionally add includepkgs=389-* idm-* to both epel-testing and the 
epel repo...
6) yum install 389-ds!

Voila!
