From what I gathered, the way people to do this is that you deploy a (ZIP of) an eclipse-repository, and then re-serve this from a remote Nexus repository? This isn't possible with local ~/.m2/repository - right?

In your .m2/repository, the p2 repo is zipped, so it may be impossible to consume it.
However, you may try something like jar:file:/home/me/.m2/repository/org/corp/project/repo/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/org.corp.project.repo-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip!/ . No guarantee...

I would recommend using Nexus if possible as it will drive to better practices.
If sometime you need to use a local site, you can always define Maven mirrors to reference it instead of the remote one defined in pom file.

If you have a zipped repository, you can add it as a site using the following:

jar:<httpaddress>!/

For example, to install Drools, you can use this as a site URL:

jar:http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/drools/org.drools.updatesite/6.0.1.Final/org.drools.updatesite-6.0.1.Final.zip!/
