Now that I look at man urpmi (crazy, I know), it does show this:

--src name
           Search a source package matching name and select all its dependen‐
           cies (that is, its "BuildRequires") by default, unless the
           --install-src switch is used in order to install the source package
           itself. (You can also install the build dependencies read directly
           from an rpm spec file.)

Apparently I would have to enable some srpm repo in order for this to work, but
it's a start.
