Yum library already supports per-user private cache (in /var/tmp), many 
yum-utils use it in order to not require root access. Only yum itself 
doesn't support it, it'd require classifying yum operations into what the 
user can do and what requires root and relaxing the root checking 
accordingly. By no means impossible of course :)
