Do you mean comps.xml? Are you manipulating comps.xml for dealing with 
cobbler repos? E.g. are you adding/removing custom packages / creating 
new package groups directly in comps.xml? Are there any tools available 
for doing this or you have to hand-edit the xml file?

Definitely. One idea we got from jimi_c in #rhel was to generate a 
package for each repo that you can go rpm -ivh 
http://yourpulpserver/foo/bar-repo.rpm that will lay down the yum repo 
file and perhaps install the repo's gpg key for you if need be. Would 
that sort of functionality meet your need here?
