I usually just mount the disc, and rpm -ivh from /cdrom/full-names/i386/.  This has the added bonus of checking deps, which YaST doesn't seem to do for me.  If you want a `prettier' interface, try KPackage from the kpa series (if you have KDE running), or GNORPM (which I don't believe is included) under GNOME.

I use xrpm. You must mount the cd then navigate.
