Please take a look at
http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/branches/gda-dev2/packaging/win32

especially defaults.sh for the URLs and install.sh for how they are
used.  Once you have all packages in your DOWNLOAD_DIR, you should be
able to run install.sh without network access, at least I hope so.

Pre-compiled versions of emacs can be found
at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ (if you want to use miktex as
well, take a look at
http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/download-for-windows.html )

Additionally, you will want to use gdb as debugger, see
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#Debugging_with_gdb .  I have
updated that page a little bit, but it probably needs more input from
those actively developing with Windows :-)
