You could use the local GPO for the local user account. It should apply just
fine. Populating the local GPO can be done remotely using gpeditor, assuming
you don't have to do it across many machines. If you do, then you can copy
the various parts of the GP settings from the domain-based GPO to do this.

Subject: [gptalk] Re: Applying GPO to a Local User Account
I am hoping to avoid the registry import method, but am prepared to deal
with it if it is the only way...
The business case is that the local account is a fail-safe for when the
person is in the field and their cached domain account is not letting
them log in. I have no control over changing this requirement, despite
my objections. Since the person in the field could log in as either
account (although some features will be unavailable if not logged into
to cached domain account), the environment must be the same regardless
of the account. A lot of the restrictions are located in the User side
of the GPO.
