I don't think you can, because as I read your request, you want it to 
give the wrong answer and RRD is designed to give correct answers !

Say you have the values 1,1,0 - the mathematical average is 0.667 not 
zero. Even if you tell rrd to print an integer, the result will be 
ONE not ZERO because one is the correct rounding.
