In short, I'm doing it something like this:
for i in `rpm -qpR to_be_built.src.rpm`
do
/usr/sbin/sudo --auto $i >> urpmi_output_of_to_be_built.src.rpm.txt
done
rpm --rebuilt to_be_built.src.rpm
for i in `cat urpmi_output_of_to_be_built.src.rpm.txt | grep "##" | cut
-d " " -f1`
do
sudo /usr/sbin/urpme --auto $i
done

Exactly. As you see above I don't need to be able to install the
src.rpm, I just need urpmi to be able to install the (build-)
dependancies of the src.rpm.

PS: I found out today that the script above _can_ be dangerous --> when
inbetween there are some updated packages, (say bzip2 got updated) and
it needs to install libbzip2_1-devel (and also updated libbzip2, because
urpmi figures out the dependancy --> libbzip2_1-devel is newer and it
updated libbzip2 to the same level). Then later on both libbzip2_1-devel
and libbzip2 get removed... bummer.
