The answer to this is, it depends on what you want to do.

Supermarket is open source and you are certainly welcome to set up your own 
if you like. To run it, you’ll need to manage a few services (I haven’t done 
this personally, but I think you at least need the supermarket service and a 
service called oc-id that uses oauth2 to authenticate you to supermarket 
using your enterprise chef credentials).

That said, we have accepted an RFC to implement a “universe” endpoint for 
chef-server that will provide a tool like berkshelf with the data it needs to 
solve dependencies so you can host your cookbooks on your regular Chef 
server. See: 
https://github.com/opscode/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc014-universe-endpoint.md

How are you using Berkshelf API now (or, what configuration were you 
considering)?
