Is there an equivalent package/command in FC5 for Debian's deborphan
and dpkg-reconfigure?

What do those commands accomplish?

deborphan lists libraries/packages that have no dependents (to be safely uninstalled without breaking other packages)

dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures a package at any time after installation and initial configuration
.
