Reasonably modern versions of apt have sources.list syntax for this.
Translating to preseeding syntax, that'd be something like this:

  d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string [trusted=yes] http://...

(Fill in whatever you'd normally have after "http" - the change is just
to insert "[trusted=yes]" before it.)
