I'm not sure fooling it is what you want to do as the i686 binaries
may use instructions not supported by the 586 processor.
Are the offending packages required during installation? Perhaps just not
including them would be the easier route. Just install afteward.
You could always build your own installation repository or disc and
replace the i686 packages with i386 packages. It may involve grabbing
the SRPMs and re-building them. It's a lot of work for a one-off.
