If I had to code a minimal-effort thing, I would just have anaconda
capture the %post output and either display it in a window or parse it
for a simple set of control codes (like Xterm uses to change the title
bar text) to say something like "display this string in a popup" or
"begin a progress bar with 19 steps" and "bump the progress bar".

Then you could control the output with a few echo statements.

Even less, have your %post run everything under control of chvt. No coding to Anaconda, full disclosure to the user.

I often use the command
/bin/bash
when I want a chance to inspect the state of the world.
