If all machines involved can mount the repository as a network drive
you need no webserver at all, just use a file:/path/to/repository URL
for the repository.

If you want a full featured web frontend you may want to have a look
at the Bioconductor scripts for generating repositories:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.7/bioc/html/biocViews.html

and especially

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.7/bioc/vignettes/biocViews/inst/doc/
createReposHtml.pdf

The scripts for CRAN are also in R but very specific for CRANs needs
...

Best,
Fritz
