You should be able to pull in specific rpms using:
yum --enablerepo=development install whatever
A great deal of programs that depend on library upgrades were rebuilt for Fedora 9. That is probably the reason why so many programs were included for update. A lot of times though it is dangerous to try to pull in pieces of Fedora 9 into Fedora 8. For example the X server is quite different and versions for Fedora 8 may be later than what is used in rawhide, updates testing anyway.
