I have added my software repository to /etc/yum.conf and now I can use
yum. It is not like the yast 'graphical' screen but at least it resolves
the dependencies when I want to install a certain package.
System-config-* also does require X so those are not an option in this
case.
While limited at the moment, there is the setup utility provided by the
setuptool rpm. It combines all the tui based tools in one location and
does not require X.

I didn't know the system-config commands so I'll have a look at them.
As for YUM, as I understand it it is more like an updater so I didn't
look at it thus far since I want to install software (from my software
repository) rather than update installed packages.
Thank you all for your tips.

You can also use yum to install packages from your repo (assuming it is
set up properly) by placing a config for your repo in
/etc/yum.repos.d/<your-repo>.repo on the client server. Setting up an
internal repo on the server side is not hard on RHEL with the createrepo
command which is supplied by the createrepo.noarch package.
