If you look at /org/non-us.debian.org/ on pandora.debian.org (same
account/password as on master) you can see that this has already been
done. Send all your thanks and presents to James Troup for doing that.

Apt can handle it, you'll need an entry like this:
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US/main
non-US/contrib non-US/non-free
(you have to list non-US/ in all the sections since apt apparently uses
the section-name to distinuguish where packages are coming from,
completely ignoring the archive location).

For non-US you'll have to do the exact same as for other packages,
except upload it to a different location.

Very few stayed in main, but you can check the exact numbers yourself.
