Not without re-packaging everything with dpkg-deb at the least (and that's not easy as tar).

I recommend you tar or zip up all the debs, extract them to a single directory, then cd into it and simply run sudo dpkg -i *.deb to install them all (dpkg will resolve the dependencies automatically as long as they are all present).
