Not testet but maybe worth a try:

use livecd-creator with the option "--shell". This will drop you into a
chroot after the package installation. Then you could copy your rpm
into the buildroot (eg. /var/tmp/livecd-creator-*/install_root) and
install it with rpm -ivh --nodeps foo.rpm.

Or better: Solve the deps.
