We've discussed doing this on the mailinglist (and I have had some
conversations with people that have this on their wishlist).
One of the problems is the differences between distributions, another is
the fact that mrepo starts from ISO images (and as a result are read-only
mounted) to save disk space.
What I am interested to look at is using fuse/unionfs to make the
ISO-images modifiable and as a result rewrite the on-disc metadata to
accomodate kickstart installations.
For this mrepo needs an understanding of anaconda's metadata and apply the
correct methodology, unionfs integration and the metadata re-generation
functionality.
Usually mrepo development is driven by effort from users. The best way to
get new features in mrepo is looking into specifics, join discussions and
providing patches/information.
PS Starting with RHEL5 this is really no longer necessary as RHEL5 allows
to use normal yum repositories. The fact that Yum is now moving to an
sqlite metadata format will probably mean that for FC7/RHEL6 will again
have a different methodology

While this is interesting for mrepo, my focus now is more on fixing up
the anaconda metadata so installs can proceed from on-disk
installation trees. That would be one step toward what mrepo would
need at least.
So does anyone know of tools for doing this before I start down the
"figure it out yourself" development branch?

Can you help me understand how this makes it possible? Presumably this
means that I could now be doing up to date installs of FC5 and FC6
rather than what I am doing (dropping the original ISOs into an
installation tree and doing hundreds of package updates after the
install completes).
Thanks,
John
