Indeed! What I posted assumes using packages, but they also work with
any package-desc object. So, if you download it locally and build the
package-desc for it it should also work, just have to put it in place of
the assq:

>>     (let ((pkg-desc (assq 'org package-archive-contents)))
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>       (package-install pkg-desc))

Although Tim was referring to packages on ELPA that are also built-in.
