Thanks Paul and Harry. Your suggestions turned on a few lightbulbs. I think I figured out the problem.
I originally created my EPEL repository as "mirror-locally=0" as I only wanted it for koan (at this point). But this causes the $yum_repo_stanza to use the actual baseurl in the kickstart repo line (with the FQDN instead of IP), and since the target system is getting its network configured via DHCP, it doesn't have a resolv.conf yet. I changed the repo to be "--mirror-locally=1 --rpm-list=koan" and then did a reposync. The kickstart now references the local cobbler repo via IP and it works. Now if I can just figure out a way to have ssh ignore "known_hosts" so I don't have to edit it every time I reinstall and want to log into the xen host...
