You have a few options:
Grab the rpm package then extract it with:
  rpm2cpio | cpio -ivd 

This will create a directory hierarchy containing all the files. Just
move the binaries to the same place in the real /usr (or extract it at
the root filesystem if you're daring).

You can also boot with a rescue disk then reinstall with the --root
option. For example, if you mount your real disk under /mnt/sysimage,
you can do:

  rpm --root=/mnt/sysimage -iv rpm.xxxx.rpm
