Forcing an RPM to install is a really bad idea. You are liable to play havoc with other gtk-using things. They may not even work, since they could easily depend on other old libraries you don't have either!
You could extract files by hand and put them somewhere under /opt/, then cause your application to load them via LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/oldlibraries/" if you wanted to do it safely. I don't think they'll work, but you won't have destroyed your system.
We don't know what 32-bit versions you have already though. There may be some acceptable generic choices available in your emul package.
You could also compile statically, as suggested in the other thread.

compat_ultrix
COMPAT_ULTRIX(8) BSD System Manager's Manual COMPAT_ULTRIX(8)
NAME
compat_ultrix -- setup procedure for ULTRIX compatibility on MIPS and VAX architectures
DESCRIPTION
NetBSD/mips and NetBSD/vax architectures can run Risc ULTRIX and VAX ULTRIX executables, respectively. However, you have to worry about the
legal issues of ensuring that you have a right to use any ULTRIX binaries on your machine.
Most executables will work. The exceptions include programs that use proprietary, ULTRIX-specific features (LAT, CI support, DECnet support)
and various system calls, ioctl()'s, or ULTRIX kernel semantics that are difficult to emulate (e.g. ULTRIX packetfilter) or buggy (e.g.
ULTRIX NIS).
All ULTRIX executables are static, so no shared libraries are required for ULTRIX compatibility. However, ULTRIX is based on a 4.3BSD alpha
release. ULTRIX commands and libraries are often much older than their NetBSD or even SunOS 4.x equivalents, and may require incompatible
configuration files.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION FILES
Set up resolv.conf and svc.conf as below:
# mkdir -p /emul/ultrix/etc
# cd /emul/ultrix/etc
# egrep 'domain|nameserver' /etc/resolv.conf > ./resolv.conf
# cp -p /usr/share/examples/emul/ultrix/etc/* ./
/etc/resolv.conf
The ULTRIX resolver library only understands domain and nameserver lines in resolv.conf(5). You should create a copy of /etc/resolv.conf
containing only those commands and put it in /emul/ultrix/etc/resolv.conf. Note that the domain search order used by ULTRIX executables may
not be the same as native binaries; there is no good way around this.
/etc/svc.conf
ULTRIX uses /etc/svc.conf to select an ordered search of NIS, Hesiod, or local flat-file mappings. You should create an
/emul/ultrix/etc/svc.conf specifying either local files or bind (DNS) lookups for all ULTRIX name services.

resolv.conf(5)
BUGS
RISC ULTRIX NIS (YP) is known to not work. The ULTRIX NIS libraries have a consistent endian-ness bug. ULTRIX NIS client will not inter-
operate with the NetBSD ypbind(8) process. The only workaround is to use /etc/svc.conf to disable NIS (YP).
The ndbm hashed-password file used by ULTRIX are incompatible with the db hashed-password file used by NetBSD. There is no good solution for
this. NIS would be a good one, if ULTRIX NIS worked.
The API used by Xservers to talk to the kernel is currently compatible with ULTRIX 4.1. An implementation of the ULTRIX 4.2 Xws interface
(used by X11R6) is in progress.
A complete list of things which fail to work in ULTRIX compatibility mode should be added here.
