In some cases it is plain easy: "./configure && make && make install",
but many packages needs more work and I see no way to automatize it
completely.

I have one machine A without internet connection. To be able to install
any package from the archive, I use apt-mirror to get an complete
archive mirror on machine B that has internet connection. Then I carry
the directory on a 2.5" hard drive to machine A. machine A is configured
(/etc/apt/sources.list) to get the archive from the local directory
instead from the internet.
