Installing packages in a disconnected PC

I have a PC at home without internet access. I would like to install Arch, but keep some Gentoo  features, like compiling some specific packages. How can I do this? Currently I use emerge -fp package &>file-list  to get the url of the required files, and then I download those files in my office. Is there a similar solution in Arch, for both binary and source packages?
