Is it possible? yes, installing is definitely possible. Compiling is probably possible (at least as an rpmbuild --rebuild command), but if it throws up any errors that require human input, could cause your entire installation to hang (although it shouldn't fail, except for the %post scripts.). Also, the build process may require certain devel packages installed that you won't need afterwards... Why not compile the rpms you want in advance (so you know that they work), dump them in your install tree, and then install them as a command in the % post section. Bear in mind that (IIRC) mplayer has circular dependencies and you need to install several rpms on the same command line to resolve this, the order in which you install the dependencies will matter as well.
