No, but you can write a custom anaconda install class that does exactly
this. This isn't easy to do, so if you don't know python don't try.

If you do know python, you can put a %installclass section at the end of your
kickstart file and define a new kickstart class that overrides the default
one. That class will be used to parse the kickstart file rather then the
default class.

You can use this with 7.1 to do almost anything. It didn't exist in 7.0, and
I don't know if it's in the new beta releases. Anaconda had some major
surgery for the betas, and this feature may have been dropped as it
seems too complicated to actually use.
