You can install from a local fat partition if you put the plan9.iso file
in the partition - don't unpack it, just put the single big file there
and the installer scripts will allow you to chose it as a source for the
full install.
A bigger problem is you have to boot the installer kernel, normally this
comes from either a floppy disk or the install CDROM (which contains a
floppy disk inage). If you don't have either of these you may be able to do
some tricks by creating a bootable partition by hand on your hard disk,
though this is going to get painful.
Maybe somone else can think of some other technique.
