yes, fedora has an anaconda package.  but since anaconda itself is a
kind of package manager, the interesting thing is getting it to install
the stuff you want, and that stuff is not going to come from Fedora
packages, even if there may in fact be packages of the things you want
to install - the fedpkgs wouldn't put stuff in the places anaconda will
expect.

conda caches packages it has downloaded.  I don't know exactly where,
but I think it will tell you if you ask it to dump its full
configuration.  if you replicate the cache directory from a test machine
which is internet-connected over to the cluster, it seems likely
installs from inside conda will then work. hopefully :)
