I don't think you can install the .po file, rather, you should install the two following packages, and then select Dutch as your default language is System Settings:

language-pack-kde-nl-base
language-pack-kde-nl

Hope this helps,
Ryan

As Ryan recommend, you can use the standard translations of KDE which is an easy process.

If for some strange reason you need to use that specific translation file (as in helping a translator verify the work), you can install manually a translation with the following process.

1. Install the gettext tools,
$ sudo apt-get install gettext gettext-base

2. Then, compile the PO file,
$ msgfmt -c nl.po -o amarok.mo

3. Finally, place amarok.mo in the proper directory,
$ sudo cp amarok.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/nl_NL/LC_MESSAGES/

4. Restart Amarok.

Hope it helps.
