I've used the repomanage tool to do this.  Something like this for one
of my local repositories:

    repomanage --old $repo | while read package; do
        dir=$(dirname "$package")
        archive="$topdir/archive/$(basename $repo)"
        [ ! -d $archive ] && mkdir -p $archive
        mv "$package" $archive
    done

You might also find some useful snippets in the scripts used to push
Fedora Extras packages (particularly RepoPrune.py):
