IMHO, it should be sufficient to just copy the whole /var/cache/apt directory 
from an up-to-date machine with trinity installed to one without internet 
connection.
then just do
apt-get install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity
there.
will of course only work with same debian version on target machine (same 
sources.list configuration also recommended) and 
complete /var/cache/apt/archives directory (including .deb packages for 
dependencies).
