Yes; rpm -Uvh *.rpm should install them all properly
(Upgrade, verify, show hash marks as progress indicators)
BUT:
I would do a test first - rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm, to verify the dependencies
first. Also, I'm told that it's a good idea to remove the .kde directory
from your home directory; this allows KDE to write out a whole new batch of
settings, without having to worry about settings conflicts. This is a pain,
because then you lose any customizations - personalized icons, colors,
fonts, etc.
DOES make for a cleaner upgrade, tho.
