I've been avoiding mentioning this until I had a chance to test it, but 
this looks promising:

	yum install yum-utils
	man package-cleanup
	package-cleanup --oldkernels

The main problem with package-cleanup, IMHO, is that the kernel file 
name is hard-coded inside, so it doesn't handle Xen, OpenVZ, or 
Virtuozzo kernels.  But it's better than nothing.
