As I mentioned previously yumex, http://linux.rasmil.dk, seem to
have a potential althouh getting it into a bug-free state does not
seem to be that easy.  Still the current version is a marked
improvement.  The really nice thing about it is an ability to
manipulate a repository list in interactive manner.

Yumex does not handle CDs as "swappable sets" but local repositories
are not different for it than anything else and you are not limited
to a predefined set.  Local repositories can clearly reside on
removable media as long as you run 'createrepo' in an appriopriate
moment.
