yes.

After applying the delta-isos, you get exactly the iso images you can 
download also. Therefore you can do what you want with them, including 
a upgrade installation. [1]

From usage view, it is quite simple:
    applydeltaiso old.iso delta.iso new.iso

There's a README in /usr/share/doc/packages/deltarpm that explains some 
details and some man pages

Note that there are some more programs around deltarpm/deltaiso:
# rpm -ql deltarpm |grep bin/
/usr/bin/applydeltaiso
/usr/bin/applydeltarpm
/usr/bin/combinedeltarpm
/usr/bin/drpmsync
/usr/bin/makedeltaiso
/usr/bin/makedeltarpm

[1] Upgrade installation doesn't work in beta4, but that's another
