It sure is.... in the future.

If you have all the gems you want installed, then you _can_ serve them
up.  Just run gem_server.

Then, *if* you can get other people to include
http://your-machine:8808 in their remote "sources", they will be able
to install the gems from your machine.

Hopefully one of the other RubyGems gurus can answer that *if*.  I
mean, you could hack it into
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sources-0.0.1/sources.rb, but there might
be a better way.
