No, this just means you don't have the necessary development header
files to build NetworkManager.  In Fedora, packages are split up between
their runtime libraries and programs (eg, dbus) and their development
header files/libraries/documentation (eg, dbus-devel) because normal
users don't need the development stuff.  So you'll find that you need to
install a bunch of different packages for NetworkManager to build.  So
something like:

yum install dbus-devel dbus-glib-devel wireless-tools-devel glib2-devel
gobject-introspection-devel gettext-devel /usr/bin/autopoint pkgconfig
wpa_supplicant libnl3-devel perl-XML-Parser automake autoconf intltool
libtool ppp ppp-devel nss-devel polkit-devel dhclient gtk-doc
libudev-devel libuuid-devel libgudev1-devel vala-tools iptables
systemd-devel 

will get you pretty close.
