Not that I know anything about redhat, but you might be able to do a freshen.
Read the rpm man page, then try something like rpm --freshen *.rpm
(or more likely rpm --freshen --replacepkgs *.rpm)
It should reinstall only the packages that are already installed on your system.
I don't know whether it will overwrite your config files though.
You might even be able to get rpm to list the packages that have missing files
with the verify option, or something.
