No, you can't just use variables in the network line.

And I don't believe that you will be able to insert or include or 
modify the network line parameters during %pre.  Yes, this works for 
packages and partitioning, but I think it's too late for network 
parameters.  Now I could be wrong, maybe that is not true for dhcp or 
cd-based installs.  (You haven't said what your install method is, 
though you mentioned a dhcp server in passing.)
