Sure, urpmi or rpmdrake.  You just need to add your new media to the
database. (see urpmi.addmedia, or the gui in rpmdrake).

Once your media is added, you can do:

urpmi --auto-select 

to update things.

urpmi --help

will give you some clues, as well as 

urpmi.addmedia --help

(both in /usr/sbin - off the beaten path)
