It should be - I haven't tried it, but you use a file: uri instead of an
http: one in the sources.list.  iirc, there are some restrictions with file
sources, but nothing important.  In my case, I actually serve the files up
via apache (and so use an http source) so that I can update all my other
computers from a single local cache.
