I don't believe that this is possible, the files that make it a yum repo 
aren't on the CD/DVD images.  If you had a mirror copy of the repository, 
that would be a different story.  I believe that you could make a mirror copy 
of a repo say for instance the updates repo and change your the yum config 
file for that repo to point to that file system. What you're missing on the 
CD/DVD is the repodata stuff.
