Steve, set up the local repo as a second origin:

Mirrors don't do what you want because they have only the file content,
not the catalog.
Unfortunately, that will no longer work.
pkg(5) now supports composition so treats each origin as a potentially
independent repository rather than alternative places to retrieve
identical content.
As a result, all origins for a publisher must be reachable.
There are long term plans to properly address this issue, but for now,
pkg(5) itself provides no mechanism to deal with this sort of
connectivity scenario.
The related bugs/RFEs are:
13462 defer transport to offline and unreachable hosts
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13462
18320 implicit catalog refreshes shouldn't fail if publishers are
unreachable
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=18320
18323 installs and updates should be possible even when some sources
/ publishers are unreachable
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=18323
The only workaround I can think of for now is to setup a nwam network
profile and then have a script that changes the pkg publisher
configuration when the network profile is activated.
