With the help of a friend I produced a module which facilitates logging in using Flickr. It's working and only needs some fine tuning and better integration with Drupal (just started using Drupal). The reason for using the Flickr API instead of Yahoo is that this API will return the 'real' username's instead of a 'hash'.

Haven't figured out yet if this module is interesting enough to put in in the CVS (and how to do that). If you think it's usefull or have ideas on improvements, please let me know.

Finally, it can be found here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~abenak/Drupal/flickr_user.module (tested for 4.7)

Forgot to add this:

In order to work install module as normal and create an extra table in the database:
create table yid
(
id int not null auto_increment primary key,
yid varchar(255) not null unique,
uid int(10) unsigned not null
)
(mysql syntax).
