To name one I am trying to see if I can install NBU client software on server as a part of post install. So I believe need to provide those inputs in the kickstart profile itself but don't know if I can do that.

Depending on the software, you can go through the install once (e.g.
install to /opt) and then tar up what got installed. We use this for
Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, etc.
During kickstart, we just untar to wherever it was originally installed
(e.g. back in to /opt)
