Anaconda for EL 5 and later (and any recent Fedora) has a "repo" 
directive to attach to additional yum repositories during installation.

If you're using Cobbler, it will configure these for you for 
repositories  you have mirrored and attached to particular profiles, so 
that may be of interest.

Either way "repo" is what you want.
