In the kickstart configuration I am specifying initial name of the RPM and apparently see that only one RPM package gets installed (not sure if its 32 or 64 bit). So basically I wanted to know,

I don't know the proper format by heart, but there is a way to specify
the architechture. Something like
pkgname.i386
pkgname.x86_64
Don't know, however whether the same work for package groups.
if you want to install packages of a certain architecture by hand or in
the %post section, you'd use:
rpm -i --arch=i386 pkgname
rpm -i --arch=x86_64 pkgname
yum install pkganem.i386
yum install pkgname.x8664

You might want to try the following:
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"
To get a list of all the tags available use
rpm --querytags
