It's looking that way.

So Cobbler will manage the PXE tree and koan can feed the vmx file info 
on ram/disk requirements, which it will then create the "shell" VM which 
can then PXE via cobbler.

So you will probably want to do it by system records in Cobbler...

More info later as I hack on this further...
