Unfortunately this doesn't work.  It seems like kickstart will happily
install an inconsistent set of packages, as in this screenshot from a
live CD booted under qemu:

Note that my meta-package, virt-p2v, is set to require ocaml-gettext,
but this package isn't installed (because I missed it out of my local
repository by accident), nor is that dependency provided by any other
package.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
