I ended up moving the 8 qt files into their own directory.

When I go to

cd /root/qt
rpm -Uvh *.rpm

the failed dependencies are
liblcms.so.1 is needed by qt3-3.0.4-4
freetype2-devel is needed by qt2-devel-3.0.4-4
mesaglut-devel is needed by qt2-devel-3.0.4-4
xdevel is needed by qt2-devel-3.0.4-4
xdevel is needed by qt2-devel-doc-3.0.4-4
libclms.so.1 is needed by qt3-non--mt-3.0.4-3

trying to 'yup install xdevel' or any of the other missing files 
always seems to bring  back the proverbial (for this process) error 
"unable to satisfy dependency libmcop.so.0 for package kdelibs-sound"

I could not seem to find any of these 5 files scrounging around on 
the mirrors ...
