Here's a very simple script for you which prints out if you have 
installed package versions which exist in fedora legacy.  Note that 
I'm making a shortcut/assumption here by assuming that for 
foo.src.rpm, there will be foo.i386.rpm which would be installed.
So, it's not bulletproof but might be "good enough".
