There is no repository DVD available for OmniOS.  So you will need a
system with a network connection, running an OS that uses IPS (such
as OmniOS, OpenIndiana, or Solaris).  You can clone the entire repository,
or just copy the latest versions of all packages.

Once you have a repository copy that contains everything you want, you
can burn it to a DVD or save a tar file to a USB stick.  From that, you
can set up a local repository on your system without any network 
connection.  You can update your local repository via the same method
whenever the "master" OmniOS repository is updated.
