If you don't want to use rescue as a rescue cd then you could use it as 
chroot - unpack contents of iso and use it as a system ... to install 
final pld in desired directory. Untested but I see no reason why it 
wouldn't work.

Like
chroot /where-rcd-is-unpacked/
cd /
mkdir /here-new-pld
rpm --initdb /here-new-pld/
poldek --root /here-new-pld/
and install whatever you want
(probably mount binding /proc, /sys there would make sense too, before 
installing anything)
