I played around a bit last night with urpmi and you should be able to just list the packages you need with urpmq --fuzzy package_name, and then install the ones listed you think you need. I did notice that urpmi doesn't install the DB when you install the Apache mod for that DB, so you might need to install that separately, but other than that, you should be good to go if you install the Apache php mod.
