Nope.  From 'man yum'[1]:

         * localinstall rpmfile1 [rpmfile2] [...]
            (maintained for legacy reasons only - use install)

[1] Actually, that's from 'man yum' on a Fedora system.  The SL6 yum 
package doesn't include a man page.  Does that bug anybody else?  'yum 
--help' on SL6 doesn't include any mention of localinstall.
