So assuming you have downloaded all of the packages you need, you can
put them in either a local directory or behind a webserver that provides
a simple directory listing, then tell easy_install (sorry, haven't used
pip but it might have similar options) the path to the package.
Additionally/alternatively, you should use --allow-hosts to point only
to your host and --find-links to give the URL from which to get
dependencies.
