Generally, the order is something like this:

arts

Qt

kdelibs

kdebase

the rest - hint -  move the previously installed rpms out of the
directory and then do  rpm -Uvh ./k*.rpm and usually rpm will figure out
the installation order. 

You do need to upgrade arts before the others and arts is usually tied
to a specific version of KDE.
