The same mechanism you used to transfer the source tarball to the
server can be used for the EPEL RPMs and then you can do a local
install with yum.

You will have to go through a long iterative process of identifying
missing dependencies (yum will tell you) transferring the corresponding
RPMs to the server and installing them. But it will still be better
than installing from source.
