"runlevel" is the operative word here. As you've found, skipx will
choose between 3/5, but for more fine-grained control (perhaps you want
X to be configured but not start by default) this will work:

%post
perl -i -p -e 's/^id:.:initdefault:$/id:2:initdefault:/' /etc/inittab

to set runlevel 2, for example.
