Even though backports are disabled rpmdrake can display a list of 
available backports. (The sources are automatically updated by 
mgaonline.) A selected backport can then be installed, without enabling 
the backports source. (I've just tested this on mdv 2010.0, the only mdv 
system that I have available.)
