While looking at the code and

http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#package you'll
also see that the yum provider is purgeable and that the yum provider
has an own purge method.
So if this would fit your needs you can set ensure to purged and it
would use yum -y erase $package
I tried this but it's worse than my own definition that wraps an exec
around a "yum -y remove $name". The problem with ensure => purged is that
puppet isn't smart enough to realize the package is already purged so it
attempts removal every time. The first time does work, but the remainder
just make gobs of tagmail spam.

FTR, here's what I'm going back to, in case anyone finds it helpful:

define yum::remove {

     exec { "yum -y remove ${name}":
         onlyif => "rpm -q ${name}",
     }

}
