Ya, urpmi is pretty sweet.

man urpmi.addmedia

will give you all the details of adding other media such as an ftp site. An
example would look like this:
urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://plf.chem.yorku.ca/pub/plf/9.0 with hdlist.cz
you will then be able to d/l and install all the MDK 9 PLF packages, for example
# urpmi transcode
You can then use 
# urpmi.removemedia plf
to get rid of the source or
# urpmi.update plf 
to update the list of packages if it has changed.
