If you are trying to say that you would like to pretend to "install" an rpm, you can do so with the --justdb option, ie. #rpm -ivh --justdb <packagename> man rpm will tell you all kinds of things rpm can do. However, if you wish to install a tarball, why not put in into an rpm. It isn't as hard as it sounds.
