Um, I'm pretty sure it already does that.  The network repos are listed,
you just have to click to enable them.

What Alan is talking about is a little more difficult, because you'd
have to have the network as a fall-back for the local media.  I believe
yum can do this with mirrors (if one fails, fall-back to another), but I
don't know how anaconda sets up the local and network repos.  If the
network was enabled, and if the repos were set up essentially with
file:/// as the preferred and network mirrors lower preference, the
fall-back should work.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
