I prefer yum too actually.

You don't even need to set up apache, because you can use file:// URLs in 
yum.conf as well as http:// URLs (at least that's what "man yum.conf" says - I 
haven't tried it myself). This will only work if your NFS server is exporting 
a full tree though, not just the ISO images.
