No. You must upgrade rpm on the target machine.

There is a particular version of rpm you must install as a stepping
stone when upgrading, since even the rpm rpm will not be recognized by
the older rpm program. I just cannot remember the the version number,
but I think you will find it on the net once you know about the problem.
(Was it 4.0.5, fellows?)

(You can always boot strap the new rpm from sources, though.)
