I'm sorry to tell you that you cannot.

You can install packages from the source DVD, but they are the source
rpms, not the binary rpms.  They would not be useful for running any
of the programs that the binary packages provide.  The source packages
are useful for inspecting the source code and patches used to create
Fedora, or if you want to customize them or fix bugs in the packaging.
