This alias should be a great default addition to the bashrc... as it helps install packages to a CentOS system from the mounted install CD before you get networking up and running...
alias localyum='yum --disablerepo=* localinstall'
Does Red Hat care about Requests for Enhancement? or is filing a bug pointless?

Since the latest version of yum obsolete (in Fedora at least so I believe in CentOS it is/will be the same) the localinstall option, I believe that using this alias is useless.

I have used yum's localinstall option on my CenOS 6.3 box... and it worked...

But the removal of localinstall doesn´t mean an easy to remember alias wouldn´t be of use, it´d just mean that the syntax would change to alias localyum='yum --disablerepo=* ´
ie localyum install /media/CentOS6/Packages/whatever.rpm

Little old thread, but needs answer for future reference.
"yum install <rpm>" works, and I think it worked/works on CentOS 5.x. I stumbled on this while installing dependencies for packages I recompiled. I was installing while in directories with rpm file and using wildcards in yum install command.
