rpm -Uv package1.rpm package2.rpm [...]
Works almost always. If this doesn't work, please send us a more detailed
descrption.
As for automatically resolving dwependencies:
What distro do you use? From where do you install KDE?
Would anybody comment on how stable are apt/urpmi/any-other-tool for such
dependency resolving?

Theoretically:
rpm -Uv package1.rpm package2.rpm [...]
I haven't tried it with KDE, but it is worth a shot.
On the (really-really) worst case, your X session goes caput, and you
revert to a console session. rpm works equally well from there.
