Is a 3 X 1000 WATT D/V CONTINUOUS LIGHT KIT WITH SOFTBOXES enough for starting portrait photography?

Hi, myself have a new canon rebel xti and this guy is selling 3 continous light kit with softboxes. I was wondering what else do i need to start doing portrait photography? Is that enough?

Here is the complete description:
This is a continuous 3000WATT variable adjustment quartz halogen lighting kit for studio use. With a 1000Watt bulb, this light has a large range of adjustment. A built in fan cools the bulb for efficient, safe operation, lengthening the life of the bulb. The overheat protection will work immediately if the temperature inside reaches temperatures greater than 200° F, protecting the fuse, the bulb and the rest of the light’s internal systems.

This series of lights is specially designed for digital cameras and digital video production. Perfect for lighting your green or blue screen for digital special effects. The softboxes diffuse the light, eliminating hot spots, creating a flattering soft light. This type of lighting works great for general portraitphoto

There’s a reason most photographers use strobes….
These lights will heat up your studio so fast that it will quickly become uncomfortable. Invest in three small Alienbee lights for your portrait work.
