As we're basically talking about Debian here, I'm sure you could download a .deb file and copy/move it to your n900 and then run (as root) dpkg -i whateverthe packageis.deb

Simple(ish) explaination

Official debian.org explaination

Offline it can be done by downloading the deb files in here or elsewhere..
Drop them for example in your mass storage and with your build explorer/browser search them and click on them...
The latest firmare installs deb files without issues.

After a bit more searching, it actually mentions dpkg in the wiki.
