The README in the directory at 
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1/SuSE/kde/ (a directory you passed 
through to download the rpm's) states

#
# KDE 3.1 for SuSE distribution

An upgrade will usually work with with these two commands:

rpm -Uvh libart_lgpl*rpm
rpm -Fvh *rpm

That said, I ran into a couple of conflict problems so removed the 
offending rpm's (after noting their names and deciding I wouldn't miss 
them) with the command
rpm -e "name of package"

for example if the error said there was a conflict with
someUnnededPackage-4.2-81.rpm then I used the command

rpm -e someUnnededPackage-4.2-81

note that you do not want to include the .rpm extension.


have fun
