some thing like this
#mount -t cd9660 /dev/your_cdrom_device /cdrom
where
/dev/you_cdrom_device - it's your cdrom (to my regret you don't show your OS and I can't help you more detaled)
/cdrom - mount point (place where you can find mounted disk)

and don't forget umount device after using

on your local system, mount your dcrom drive. you can do this like how user "mercy" stated... "mount /dev/cd0 /cdrom"

i'm assuming your cdrom on your AIX system is cd0.... and chances are it is.

after mounting the cdrom on your local system, make sure you export that directory. you can do this by "exportfs -i /cdrom". also, make sure your NFS services are available and running. you can check this by doing "lssrc -g nfs".

on the REMOTE system, mount the cdrom from your local system. it would likely be something like "mount localhostname:/cdrom /mnt" where "localhostname" is your local machine's host name and /mnt is some arbitrary mount point.

once mounted, you should be able to do your installs.
