If you plan to drop yafray, how about to replace with yaf(a)ray, i.e. 
this one?

http://wiki.yafray.org/bin/view.pl/UserDoc/YafaRay

Gustavo Boiko (boiko at mandriva.com) has created a patch for using Yafaray 
instead of Yafray for current blender, here is:

 http://people.mandriva.com/~boiko/patches/yafaray_blender_export.patch

though that patch will be probably moved to his own svn in the next weeks.

Bye
Giuseppe.
