In CentOS 6 DVD (there are 2 DVDs), you will find Packages directory which contains the rpm files.
If your system does not have yum installed by default (which is weird), you have to go through the pain of installing it using the rpm command (don't tell me that too does not work!) after installing all dependencies.
Once you have yum, you can use your DVDs as the local yum repository by adding a file named local.repo (or any name with the .repo extension) in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with the following contents:
...and you can install the packages using yum now.

yum-shell
yum(8)yum(8)NAME
yum - Yellowdog Updater Modified shell
SYNOPSIS
yum shell [filename]
DESCRIPTION
yum includes an interactive shell for conducting multiple commands or sets of commands during a single execution of yum. These commands can
be issued manually or passed to yum from a file. The commands are much the same as the normal yum command line options. See here yum(8) for
that information. There are a few additional commands documented below.
config
[argument] [value]
args: debuglevel, errorlevel, obsoletes, gpgcheck, assumeyes, exclude
If no value is given it prints the current value.
If value is given it sets that value.
repo
[argument] [option]
list: lists repositories and their status
enable: enable repositories. option = repository id
disable: disable repositories. option = repository id
transaction
[argument]
list: lists the contents of the transaction
reset: reset (zero-out) the transaction
solve: run the dependency solver on the transaction
run: run the transaction
Examples
The following are examples of using the yum shell.
list available packagename*
groupinfo 'Some Group'
install foo
remove bar
update baz
run
That will list available packages matching the glob 'packagename*'. It will return information on the group 'Some Group' It will
then queue the following commands into the transaction: install foo, remove bar, update baz. Then the 'run' command will resolve
dependencies for the transaction commands and run the transaction.
