There's a few options that exist.

First, you could look into using a firewall proxy with Maven, if that 
would be possible in your scenario. See: 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/Installation#Installation-ConfiguringaProxy

If that doesn't work, you can copy an existing installation of DSpace to 
your machine that doesn't have internet access. Essentially, this would 
mean installing DSpace on a machine that has internet access, and then 
copying it to your machine that is behind a firewall.

This same question came up recently in dspace-tech mailing list:

This Installer Prototype is still in the prototype phase. It doesn't 
quite work as planned yet, unfortunately.

Although there isn't a single downloadable "binary", you can build that 
binary yourself by running 'mvn package' on another computer that has 
internet access.

I'm hoping that you can just configure a Maven proxy (most firewalls 
allow some form of proxy, unless they are really strict).
