It depends what you need. If you don't plan to use the distribution wizard (you will need to cancel it the first time) or extension manager then you can ignore it or even better make sure XWiki does not try to access those repositories by setting extension.repositories= in WEB-INF/xwiki.properties. This will tell XWiki there is no repositories, not even the default ones. XWiki can also support a repository you would have on your side but the hard part would be to get the "required" files, we are not really talking about a few files to put in some folder. The "simplest" would be to mirror http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/ and that's only if you plan to install nothing else than XAR extensions release by the XWiki team or by official contrib on Maven (it's enough for Distribution Wyzard for example). The next level would be to mirror the Nexus[1] repository on http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/content/groups/public/ (best probably being to use Nexus itself for that). Mirroring http://extension.xwiki.org would be quite complex, XWiki access it using REST, it require a running instance of XWiki Repository[2] and most of all there is no tool right now do the synchronization (even if that should not be too hard with a script).
