You could do something like:

def testislocal(d):
    if os.path.exists("xxxx")
        return "local"
 
  return ""

LOCALBUILD = "${@testislocal(d)}"

SOURCE_MIRROR_URL ?= "{@base_contains('LOCALBUILD', 'local', 'file://xxx', 'http://xxx', d)}"

I'm sure there are ways to neaten this up but you get the idea...

Cheers,
