Just for the record:
The problem seems to be that redhat-config-packages *requires* a
distribution tree, presumably to find out about dependencies. It will
use the (partial) one installed via the "comps" package if it exists,
but look for an install media if it doesn't. Here is a little trick
I'm (now) using to trick redhat-install-packages into installing when
I have neither the comps package nor a distribution tree

My message somehow got chopped off at this point, but see
