When I downloaded and installed KDE 3.0 I discovered there is a switch 
for rpm that will sort, check deps, and install in the correct order all 
rpm's in a directory.

So, you would just download all the kde rpm's you want into one 
directory, and then issue the correct rpn command.

Unfortunately, I didn't take notes, and don't remember the exact command 
  or option.

  Try a read through of the man page for rpm, and I'll look some more 
myself.

HTH,
