You can just create pom.xml with multiple executions of install-file goal of Maven install plugin. Assuming those files are already available locally somewhere (or you can download them using Wagon plugin).

  
    4.0.0

    org.somegroup
    my-project
    1.0

    
      
        
          org.apache.maven.plugins
          maven-install-plugin
          2.4
          
            
              install1
              package
              
                install-file
              
              
                lib/your-artifact-1.0.jar
                org.some.group
                your-artifact
                1.0
                ... other properties
              
            
            
              install2
              package
              
                install-file
              
              ... etc

            
            ... other executions
          
        
      
    
  

So, with above pom fragment mvn package should do the trick.

There are good Maven POM tutorial and POM reference.
