Did you see the third party packages appear in the Package Selection 
dialog in the graphical installation? The third party repository would 
need a comps ("Groups" file) to enable anaconda to display the groups 
and packages in the package selection dialog. If not, you are not able 
to select them in any other way then using a kickstart (sample):

interactive

%packages
some-third-party-repo-package
%end

This will select the package, but will still enable you to use the 
package selection dialog to select other packages as well.
