I suspect not.
However,
yum shell pkginstalllist.file
where you have prepended "install " to each line (and I believe added
"run" at the end) of that file would seem to be likely to work. A
simple vi or perl search/replace edit/one-line script should get you
the input file you need.
Since you have an interest in this I'll let you read the man page and
do the experimenting.
