If you copied rpm files from the DVD, you do not need to run createrepo
because the repodata directory is included.  But if you copied rpm's
from individual CD's, then you need to create the repodata by running
createrepo.  Either way, once you have them ready and suppose your
repodata directory is in /pathto/fc6, add this line to the .repo file:

baseurl=file:///pathto/fc6

Note the three slashes.
