I know the Rocks project uses ssl-encrypted kickstart, so it
can be done, but I think they added code not in the normal
installer.  If I remember correctly they don't use https because
the overhead is too big, they just do ssl encryption across
normal http.

If it's just a password or two there is the 

password --iscrypted

command which allows you to put in an encrypted password.
