Just make a "net" visible yum repo.  A yum repo is a directory containing 
rpms.  You run createrepo against that directory.  Place a comps.xml in 
the repodata directory created by createrepo.

Then during the gui install click on the "extra repositories" option 
and enter the url to your repository.

For kickstart add to your kickstart file based on this info

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
repo (optional)

     Configures additional yum repositories that may be used as sources for 
package installation. Multiple repo lines may be specified.

   repo --name=<repoid> [--baseurl=<url>| --mirrorlist=<url>]


     --name=

         The repo id. This option is required.
     --baseurl=

         The URL for the repository.

I had mentioned it because some might want to make a custom cd.
