yum grouplist is almost ok for learning what groups are available.Though it does not distinguish between base/manditory and added in the installed list.
But yum list is not really helpful.
I would like to see something of what rpms are within what group. then what rpms are not in any group. And which groups and stand-a-lone rpms are base.
maybe it can be teased out of comp.xml...

If you install yumex (CentOS-4 only), you can see those things visually.
yum install yumex
docs for yumex here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/yumex/

Got it. Docs look good. Now to try it. What I am trying to do is build up what I want in a kickstart file. But you can't do that if you don't know what is available...

you should be able to write a parser trivially, or use the rpmdb stock stored within the distro for this sort of info.
Remember not everything in the distro is in the comps.xml, you cant take that sort of a situation for granted.

I occasionally use an XSLT stylesheet included below for such things, although it won't show rpms not included in any groups. Perhaps you'll find it useful:

Using xsltproc, it produces an xhtml file you can view in a web browser.
