yes, smart can install from a local file:
  smart install /path/to/file.rpm

and you can create a local repro by putting the rpm files into a
central directory and then running "createrepo ."  in that directory.
You then add a channel to smart:
 [<logname>]
 type = rpm-md
 baseurl = /path/to/<central-directory>
 
I have done both:
 [pat]
 type = rpm-md
 baseurl = /home/pat/Desktop/Downloads
 

you can get help via:
smart --help
man smart
