It doesn't matter, where you place the downloaded *.rpm packages. 
The helix installer is responsible for unpacking the files and 
installing them where they belong (probably below /opt/gnome).
However, I'm somewhat suspicious about this helix installer program,
because it makes me feel like loosing control over what's happening
to my system.
Once I tried helix installer to install Helix Gnome 1.2 from scratch
on a SuSE 6.3 system and it silently missed essential packages like
gnome-core and others. 
As far as I understand, the helix installer is nothing
but an rpm frontend for the Helix Gnome packages. So I'd give it a 
miss and use pure rpm (something like "rpm -i ...") instead.
