No.
If you only mean installation and nothing else, which isn't really a "yum" event for normal users, then you just need to plug in DVD and boot. That installs Fedora based on what's on the DVD. However, most people want to keep their installation up to date; they want to get access to the tens of thousands of software packages available which aren't on the install DVD to begin with. And regardless of how you bend and twist things, you'll need to download updates and new software packages from SOMEWHERE. With Linux and Fedora in particular, this function is EASY as Pie as they say - yum does it all in one command.
Or put in another way - you got the installation DVD from somewhere - the data on that DVD came from somewhere. Someone downloaded the ISO and burned it to a DVD to begin with. So you're still depending on data from "the internet".
