You are correct, and this behavior is pretty awful, but there's nothing that can be done about this until Geronimo is converted to Maven 2 (ETA: some time after Geronimo 1.0 is released).
Your best bet is to leave an online build running in the background the first time while you do other things. Then you can run subsequent builds with the "-o" flag to run offline and it won't attempt to do any downloading. If we updated individual dependencies here and there you can run online builds from the directory of the module that needs that and then try your entire offline build again.
