No if you have the .deb file or if the repo is already in Maemo Application Manager - you can use Kpackage to install and unistall apps. I actually find it superior to the Maemo app manager because Kpackage give more information, more readily.

If you want to install an app from a .deb file: Go to KDE Menu -> System ->KPackage -> Wait for it to build the app list (you should see a little watch on the screen) -> Open file - > navigate to where you file is stored -> Install file -> Enjoy
