I am pxe booting off the marvel card and in order to be able to do what you suggest, I think I need the driver to be installed to get the kickstart file first. Otherwise, how would the installer get it?

When you PXE boot you get a kernel (vmlinuz) and a ramdisk (initrd.img), you can use a custom ramdisk that you generate on the local machine and include the needed driver, then transfer it on to the PXE server. Make sure the vmlinuz and initrd.img have the exact same version.

That would work... but what if I install the kmod driver right after I install the notebook and took the new initramfs file and threw it on the pxe server would this work?
