I think you should be able to copy the fonts to /usr/share/fonts or to 
~/.fonts
Any fontconfig enabled programs will have access to them then.  

For programs not using fontconfig yet, you will have to install 
freetype-utils,
create a directory somewhere, put your fonts in that directory, run 
ttmkfdir > fonts.dir, add the relevant line to your XFree86 config file, 
and then restart X (or xset +fp the directory).  I don't know of any 
graphical utilities for installing fonts, but I wouldn't be surprised if 
there is one.
