Depending if you have your CD-Rom set up correctly.  Yum can handle file
repos.  You do have to run yum-arch on the directory to create the header
files.  The default Fedora CDs do not have the required headers, though. 
I believe up2date can handle "just a dir of files" (in addition to yum
file repos) by adding it to the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.
