I'd like to use existing RPMs, preferably binaries, as a

It depends want you mean by "install" but you can unpack the files
in an rpm package with rpm2cpio eg.
cd target/dir ; rpm2cpio <some.rpm | cpio -idmv

Yes, or similar. The basic limitation is still that writing to the
/var/lib/rpm db requires root privileges, so you can't really make a
user install managed by rpm.
