let me see if I understand correctly. You do want to install the
dependencies, and want to use YUM, but the package you want to install
is not in a YUM repository.

That could be tricky. If it's not a package in a repository, then YUM
probably can't be used to install it. Although, you do have the
ability to create your own repository on the local disk, and tell YUM
to search there for files. You should be able to google to find out
how to do that (I haven't tried).

Otherwise, if you know the list of dependencies that you need, you
could use yum to install them individually.
