I use a similar approach as outlined in this link:
http://www.howtoforge.com/creating_a_local_yum_repository_centos

All you need is the distribution ISO, and the createrepo and rsync commands.
You can always experiment to get the hang of it and ask when you get stuck.
In a simple setup you don't an apache or ftp server.

It works very well.
