OED2 cdrom で引いてみました。（用例を除いて以下にはりつけました）

 yahooには間投詞はなくて、いわゆるヤッホーは yoho （あるいは yoo-hoo）の
ようです。


yahoo (<ph>jA:"hu:</ph>), n.
1. A name invented by Swift in Gulliver's Travels for an imaginary 
race of brutes having the form of men; hence transf. and allusively,
 a human being of a degraded or bestial type. (Cf. houyhnhnm.) Freq. 
in mod. use, a person lacking cultivation or sensibility, a philistine;
 a lout, a hooligan.
2. = wild man 2.
3. Austral.
[Perh. a different word.] A probably mythical creature resembling 
a big hairy man, said to haunt eastern Australia. Cf. yowie2.
Hence
ya'hoo v. intr., to behave like a yahoo;
------------------------------------------------------

yoho (<ph>j@"h@U</ph>), int. Also as two words, or with hyphen;
 also 8 yoa hoa, yoe-hoe, 9 yeo-ho, -hoy, ye(e) ho.
[See yo int., ho int.1 and int.3.]
An exclamation used to call attention: orig. in nautical use,
 hence generally; also sometimes used like yo-heave-ho, q.v.
Hence
yo'ho v., intr. to shout 'yoho!' (whence
yo'hoing vbl. n.);

-------
yoo-hoo (<ph>"ju:hu:</ph>), int. (n.)
[Cf. yoho int.]
A call made to attract attention, esp. to one's arrival or presence;
 also as n.
