You don't seem to be searching any repositories other than the standard ones
for Fedora Core 1 Base & Released Updates, and neither of these will include
the apt package.  Try adding the following repository to your /etc/yum.conf
(or an alternative config file, if you don't want this in there by default):

[dag]
name=Fedora Core 1 Dag Wieers' repository
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/fc$releasever/en/i386/dag

This repository does have an "apt" package available.  (They've also got an
"iftop" RPM package available for the most current version, 0.16, if you're
interested in that one as well.)

There may be other repositories available that also have "apt", but the
above seems to work, and I haven't felt inclined to search further.
