Should be pretty simple.  Right after doing the rsync change to the 
following directories and do "yum-arch -s ."

3.0/en/os/i386
3.0/en/updates

something as simple as:

rsync <lots 'o options, paths and stuff>
BASEDIR=<whereever the top of the local WBEL tree lives>
REPOS="3.0/en/os/i386 3.0/en/updates"
for dir in $REPOS
do
	cd $BASEDIR/$dir
	yum-arch -s .
done

Then remember to update the list as new archs and versions appear.  If you 
really want to be paranoid about glitches coming down through the mirror 
network and hosing up the headers dir you could blow the old headers away 
every time at the cost of a few extra machine cycles late at nite.  just 
add "rm -rf $dir/headers" between the cd and the yum-arch lines.
