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.
