If pip had native IPFS support, you could do that by just pinning the packages you use on the local node.

You could also have an IPFS gateway with just normal HTTP(S) access control techniques and a normal pip, deferring to the swarm for packages that you haven't pinned. It's unhealthy for the swarm to stop your node from sharing it's data with other nodes, as that'd loose the Torrent swarm effects that unload the initial uploader (PyPI).
