Certainly -- take a look at:
http://www.owlriver.com/pub/kickstart/ks.php
which returns demonstration code with such content in its
'%post' stanza, with trivial php scripting (sorry about the formatting
in a generic graphical web browser --
use 'lynx -source \
http://www.owlriver.com/pub/kickstart/ks.php
and it is easier to read). The relevant part is at the
bottom.
I documented a method predecessor of this years ago on the yum
mailing list
http://www.owlriver.com/support/yum/
and
http://www.owlriver.com/projects/yum/
for a 'look under the hood' for codeing to emit a yum.conf of
that type, on the fly. A ks.cfg is the same problemspace.
Production code is a bit more complex ;)
