You may want to take a look at 

http://xml2hostconf.sourceforge.net/

Among other things it generates kickstart scripts out of an XML file
that describes your network. It is primarily meant to be used in
situations where clients are installed over the network with PXE. Of
course you could instead copy the generated kickstart scripts to another
medium and bring it to the client computers by other means.

A new release ( 2.0.0 ) was released yesterday. A new feature in this
release is among others a cgi script in Python that makes the kickstart
file only downloadable one single time from the correct ip address. If
you want to avoid to always have your kickstart files published this
might be a good thing.
