Well yes and no. I can, of course, use yum if I wanted. I'm a sys admin
after all. However the way we configure our machines means that in
essence yum is not available to be used to the installation of any rpms.

Is the problem that you can't use yum at all or that you just can't use
yum for a specific set of rpms? If it's the second then you could always
try ``yum localinstall'' so yum can sort out the dependencies that *are*
in SL's repos.
``yumdownloader --resolve'' will look at the packages you have installed
on a system and download not only the package you ask for, but also any
dependencies it lacks. You can then install them (hopefully all at
once) with rpm.
