Signing packages is not mandatory, nor is signing repositories. If you trust the packages and the repository (which is very likely with a copy of RPMs you grabbed from a repository on the internet.. you trust in the first place ;)), just run "createrepo ." on the directory that has the RPM files (or its parent directory) and you're done.
So to sum it up, what needs to be done is have an option to save the RPM's you download in /some/directory, run `createrepo /some/directory` and add /some/directory as an installation source if it is not already added. Adding /some/directory can be done by default, just like the dvd now is added as default. Running /createrepo can be added to SuSEconfig. So only the RPMs need to be saved.
