Is there a cmd line swith or env var?
Why not sign packages you roll? It really isn't that hard. RPM does have

It's a throw away project on a throwaway vm instance.

issues with large keys, though - Key on the top1000 list aren't usable
:) - I think 64kb is the maximum size.

And: Setting gpgcheck to 0 in yum.conf should disable global gpg
checking, you can turn it on for each repository in the .repo files
under /etc/yum.repos.d/. So the choice of how you shoot yourself in the
foot with unsigned packages is up to you >:)

But there are no (temporary) options from the command line?

I haven't found any. Something like --nosign or --ignore-nokey would be great.

I generally copy /etc/yum.conf to /etc/yum.localinstall.conf and change the gpgcheck flag to 0, then use "yum -c /etc/yum.localinstall.conf localinstall package" to install any unsigned packages.

I've only used it with packages from a know good source (mostly locally built).

Ummm, from the yum man page:

--nogpgcheck
              Run with gpg signature checking disabled.
              Configuration Option: gpgcheck

Does that do what you want?
