I didn't do the loading vmap page, so I have no real idea. I'm ccing the list, as people may have a better idea there, and Dave Blasby who wrote the page. In general it's best to email any question to the list, no one person can ever be relied upon to get all the answers to minor questions.
I think for this you can put them anywhere, you just have to then load them properly in to your postgis database. After they're in postgis you can set up the layers normally through geoserver.
Modify the ogr_process.bat:
ogr2ogr one.shp "gltp:/vrf/e:/vmap0/v0noa/vmaplv0/noamer" %1 -nln %2 %1
ogr2ogr two.shp "gltp:/vrf/e:/vmap0/v0soa/vmaplv0/soamafr" %1 -nln %2 %1
ogr2ogr tre.shp "gltp:/vrf/e:/vmap0/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia" %1 -nln %2 %1
ogr2ogr for.shp "gltp:/vrf/e:/vmap0/v0sas/vmaplv0/sasaus" %1 -nln %2 %1
so that it points to your installed files. If you have perl on your system, there's a perl script (attached to that page) that does everything too.
I hope to actually get to processing VMAP0 files next week, so I'll put more details in that page then.
