xmllint can do:
xmllint --dtdvalid /path/to/local/copy/of.dtd file.xml
IIRC, libxml2 itself can use a catalog to find the dtd for a given publicID.

Application to KPartGUI (I guess it's clear that KOffice docs need a 
www.kde.org SystemLiteral since they'll regularly leave the user's system):

So, we still should have a location under www.kde.org (and I'd include the 
year just to be consistent; also we might see ourselves producing _more_ 
(versions of) DTDs than the W3C!) for the kpartgui.dtd.
The question is whether the system ID should point to the www.kde.org address, 
or whether the install process replaces it with the actual path on the 
system. I don't like the latter since we can always use --dtdvalid with 
xmllint during the build and Qt isn't a validating parser anyway AFAIK, so we 
never get any background network activity.
