You may be able to rsync just the part of the repos you need, and then
keep a local copy of that.

Here's two URL's I found (not read them in-depth) that seems relevant
to what you want to do.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring/Tiering
http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_article/yum_article/node15.html

It's a start, and should give you an idea at least.
