I would google this and RTFM, but I must not be describing it well, I

The issue is not trivial at all.
What I want to do is to take an rpm, and install it in my personal
home directory without using root privileges, for my own use only. Is this
possible? What sort of keywords should I use to find this in the
documentation or when searching with google?
You need root privilege, rpm relocate or not, to update the default rpmdb. One solution, for
not using root, is to create a chroot for the user, use pam_chroot and disabling (or not depending from sshd version) the sshd privilege separation feature http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ap-chroot-ssh-env.en.html
Using --root with --dbpath (see rpm man page) don't work if you don't want to use root (chroot required privilege/capability)
