It should with Dan G's latest patches which have been applied to devel.
I have not tested this yet. That was one of the main goals.

However you don't have to do the SNIPPET::postinstall-fc9 and
SNIPPET:postinstall-rhel trick with all of the if statements. This is
already built into Cobbler.

All you really need to do is have a SNIPPET::postinstall-generic and
SNIPPET::postinstall-specific and use the "Advanced Snippets" feature to
replace the snippet based on the profile name.

See "Advanced Snippets" here:
