Yocto does not currently support installing 3rd party RPMs. Even if it 
would install, whatever contents it has would very likely not work due 
to mismatches between the environment where the rpm was built and the 
environment where you are installing it. And --nodeps would only make 
the problem worse.

You have to write a recipe.
