I do not understand. What format does your "package" uses?
rpm (for Redhat and its brothers)
tar.gz (Source file)
tgz (Slackware?)
deb (Yours truly)

If you want to install binary package in rpm form, "alien" will convert
it to deb format.
Another way is brows its content by "midnight commander" and copy files
to appropriate directory.
