I've got a local (i.e. file://) repo working on a Gentoo x86_64 host.
I needed to install:
o createrepo >= 0.9.7 (I'm using 0.9.7)
o rpm >= 4.4.7 (rpm5.org flavor, I'm using 4.4.7-r4)
o yum >= 3.2.22 (I had to create an ebuild to install 3.2.23)
o Dependencies for the above.
Here's how I've been creating a local repo:
o Sync the repo - kernel.org allows for rsync, but you won't get the
latest development RPMs. You'll have to pull those with wget or the
like.
o cd /path/to/moblin2
o createrepo -d -g comps.xml .
o touch LICENSE.html
o cd /path/to/moblin2-src
o createrepo -d .
Using the above, I've been able to modify the 'repo' entries in my
kickstart file such that the baseurl points to a local file:// location,
and successfully build and boot a LiveUSB image.

I just touch'd a LICENSE.html - I didn't see anything of the sort when
browsing repo.moblin.org, and it allowed moblin-image-creator to run
successfully.
I still have yet to get a custom kernel built from SRPM and integrated
into my own local repo - currently working through that process.
