Absolutely possible.

I have an rsync'd locl mirror of Fedora on my main machine, an
apache/httpd server share of it, and all my other fedora machines use
the local mirror instead of going to the internet all the time.

I have a large filesystem mounted on /srv, and have a /srv/Fedora tree
that mirrors the TDS mirror.
I (g)rsync the mirrors about once a day.
My local httpd server is set up to serve these local copies at
host.private:/pub/fedora/linux/.....
Virtual machines and other test machines on my local net reference this
mirror all the time.

If you need specific setup details, just ask.
