It is possible to have your own local repository.
Up2date has this funtionality, you can use it to query your own yum 
repository without rhn.

But you cannot sync with rhn I think, that's the point where the
Proxy or Satellite apps are needed.
So you have to dl the packages by hand and put them on your repo.
But maybe there's another way to do it?

Note:
up2date in the latest version was broken and could not use yum.
Tonight was U3 released which schould have a fixed up2date, have not 
tried that yet.
