I don't know about a "good" way (as I tried to avoid RH) but one
way that should work would be to create a bash script like so:

cat << FEOF > localinstall.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Set these variables as appropriate.
INSTALLPROG="yum localinstall"
INSTALLDIR="/usr/local/rpms"
INSTALLSUFFIX="rpm"

# Note: This will play well with everything but new-lines embedded in
# filenames.

find "$INSTALLDIR" -type f -iname "*.$INSTALLSUFFIX" -exec $INSTALLPROG '{}' \;

FEOF
