I use a single command line for parrallel upgrades, that can be used for parallel package installation.
===
ssh root at comp1 -t "/usr/sbin/urpmi --auto-update" && ssh root at comp2 -t "/usr/sbin/urpmi --auto-update" && ssh root at comp3 -t "/usr/sbin/urpmi --auto-update"
===
If you have disabled root login, add sudo just before the urpmi command. (btw, I use ssh keys for auth and enforce "without-password".)
Just replace "--auto-update" with "name of package" for installation.
I use a similar line for managing updates on three Debian servers.
