rpms are just cpio archives with some additional signing stuffed inside.
If you can find a script named "rpm2cpio" (it's a shell script), it will
run on OI.  If you can't find a copy let me know, I can send you the
one I have.

Something like:

 	rpm2cpio file.rpm | cpio -idv

should extract all the file contents.
