look at yum-groups-manager

you can easily make a local, custom comps.xml right now with a list of 
groups.

then you can do:

createrepo -g that_comps.xml somedir

and you have a repository that ONLY has comps.xml in it that is then 
instantly usable by any site which can get to the baseurl where it lives.
