Yep, if the .rpm files are created properly, a rpm -U <rpm1> <rpm2> etc
should upgrade any app (including kde) with 1 command.  The rpm files
should contain dependancy information so that the rpm -U command knows
what order to install them in.  All you need to do is list all the rpms
you want to install with a space seperating them after the rpm -U

If that doesn't work then they didn't build the .rpm files correctly.
