Yum works off the repository definitions in /etc/yum.repos.d/

You can setup your own repo fairly simply if you have a collection
of rpms, all you need is to run the createrepo tool over the
directory (then discover the syntax to use in the repo definition
to say "local directory" rather than http: - a syntax I don't remember
right off hand :-).

Then you can use the yum --disablerepo and --enablerepo options
to tell it which ones to use.

P.S. /usr/bin/createrepo comes in the package named "createrepo"
(a miracle! :-).
