First you should make a backup of the file, for example:
cp /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.BAK
that will create a new file with the .bak extention (in case anything does wrong).

Then
rpm --force libxfree86-4.3-23mdk.rpm <-- the file you wanted to install.

[joe@x1-6-00-4c-69-6e-75-79 RPM's and tar.gz's]$ rpm --force fglrx-glc-4.3.0-3.2.8.i586.rpm
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced
