Something to > think about for say F8. Why would you need different comps files ? Wouldn't it be enough to have separate 'sendmail mailserver' and 'postfix mailserver' groups ? In general, I am not convinced that basing this on tools that are mainly meant for interactive use (like comps) is really all that useful in the server world - what we want is something like kickstart, but with a clean separation between the stuff that is site-independent (e.g. which packages go on a postfix mailserver) and the stuff that is very site dependent (storage setup, authentication, backup, ...) For servers, you quickly get into questions that are more config mgmt questions than install/provisioning questions. Either way, having a good list of the most popular server setups and/or package lists for them would be a very good start.
