Yes.

"yum deplist vlc" shows you all dependencies. Do some grep/awk magic to
write the package names which you find in the "Provider:" lines into a
file. echo vlc >> file.

Then do a "yum install --downloadonly $(cat file)"

Maybe you should clean up the deplist a tad, as it contains packages you
probably already have installed (like zlib or glibc).

If that vlc ever plays streams from the internet, I would be concerned.
