Nope, you can but don't have to.

" <url> should point either to a directory with the unpacked driver update or 
to a driver update archive. "

" For easy testing the semantics has been extended a bit: if <url> does not 
point to a driverupdate but rather a normal filesystem image, cpio archive, 
or rpm, it is unpacked and the files are added to the install (or rescue) 
system. "


So just put the RPM or tarball on some http-server and add something like this 
as boot parameter:
   DriverUpdate=http://foo/bar/mydriver.rpm


Ciao,
