This is not uncommon.
Yahoo and Google are two very different search engines using different (and changing) methods of collecting and presenting information.
In my experience, Google tends to spool off listings with less regard for the origins of the content (eg. 'site scraping' and 'page jacking' sites often win over the original sites they stole the content from), and Yahoo, somehow, manages to distill the results into a more meaningful offering.
As a result, Yahoo tends to show fewer, but more relevant links (at this time).
This is not necessarily a problem.
Regarding the 'jackers' sitting on top of Google listings (at the moment), there has been enough complaining since mid-Dec/04 about Google's drop in quality of results, that this imbalance is being worked on with high priority.
If you have been 'page-jacked' or want to learn more about how to protect your SERPs, contact me.
