What I do, is make  package of packages.  In this way, all available 
in-house built packages are available to install on first boot, from a 
slight modification I make to rc.local during the post.

Basically, I have in rc.local:

if [ packages exist in this dir ]
    then
    rpm -ihv dir/*rpm
fi

Here is a bit of justification for doing first boot packages:

postgresql cannot be configured for network access during post install.  
One of our rpms modifies the postgresql configs, and then creates a 
specialized database.

There are quite a few applications (like postgresql) that generate 
configuration settings the first time that they are started.

Maybe this will get your creative juices flowing towards an even better 
method, and please, share! :)

Good luck!
