Use yum install mypackage-1.0-1.rpm
It wil start downloading dependent rpms, and then check the gpg
So you have the rpms on your pc and manual install (rpm -Uvh ...) them
from /var/cache/yum/reponame/packages
(watch out for packages that depend on other packages, use the right order)

Then install you're package rpm -Uvh mypackage-1.0-1.rpm

Hope this helps,
