CONFIG_LOCALMIRROR is really for e.g: an HTTP/FTP server that is going
to host tarballs of the source packages (analogous to
downloads.openwrt.org for instance). I have not tried, but it might be
that doing something like file:///path/to/sources on your filesystem may
work just fine.

If you want to set up a local directory that contains tarballs, that's a
different option and it is CONFIG_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER that you may want to
use instead.
