Unfortunately, the url cannot be added with %include. It has to be there from
the start. Do you know the arch of the system when you kickstart it or do you
need to rely on some type of autodetection? If the former, you could use a cgi
script in place of the kickstart file and pass the arch as a variable. For example:

ks=http://install.server.tld/cgi-bin/ks.cgi?ks=rhel5.4&arch=x86_64
