If you want just the minimal set of packages, you can do something like this:
1. Download the release package (check [1]) from home, get it to the
office and install there.
2. Run in the office something like:
yumdownloader -q --resolve --urls ovirt-engine ovirt-engine-dwh
ovirt-engine-reports ovirt-engine-websocket-proxy
ovirt-vmconsole-proxy > URLs
Obviously choose packages as you wish.
3. copy ./URLs home and run: wget -i URLs
4. Copy the downloaded files to the office and install.

Didn't try that myself. In particular, note that engine-setup optionally
installs additional stuff for you, so in principle might require more packages.
