I assume you don't have any remote centralized management mechanism on
those clients (that's why you try to register them to Spacewalk).

Then using ssh to transfer the rpms to the client and installing them
and running rhnreg_ks would probably work. Or you can setup a plain
yum repo with those package, and use ssh to create /etc/yum.repos.d/*
file and run yum plus rhnreg_ks.

Basically, do it as you would install any other rpm in your setup --
this is not Spacewalk-specific. You are the one who knows the
infrastructure of your network and what is possible and what is not.
