In a roundabout way yes, use rpm2cpio and cpio to extract the contents of the rpm package;
rpm2cpio < full name of the rpm package here > something.cpio
cpio -i -d something.cpio
See the manpages fro both commands for the details and additional inforomation: man rpm2cpio

it takes hours ?
It's running for an hour or so...
Code:
rpm2cpio < /tmp/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-152.i386.rpm > /tmp/binutils.cpio;
cpio -i -d /tmp/binutils.cpio; # This one takes hours/// :S
