The default IMAP daemon in RedHat/Fedora is UW-imapd.  It store mail in 
mbox format.  Cyrus imapd use a different mailbox format.  You need to 
understand that, if you use Cyrus imapd, you will have to migrate your 
mail from the mbox format to the Cyrus format.  This is non-trivial, but 
the Cyrus WiKi have info about how to that.

For a standalone server, Simon Matter rpm for Cyrus work quite well out 
of the box.  See http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/

Side question for Simon : do you plan to have your Cyrus rpm integrate 
in some official or quasi-official Fedora repository, like fedora.us or 
Freshrpms ?
