There's a couple. Here's one:

Copy the packages to a local dir and run yum-arch (C3) or createrepo
(C4) on the dir. Then modify /etc/yum.conf (C3)
or /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo (C4) to point to the dir. Note that yum
*does* recognize the file: protocol (e.g., file:///some/path) so you
don't need a web or FTP server.
