So right now, those are getting pulled in so that anaconda can build its images for the install. If you don't list say anaconda-runtime and anaconda in your comps, it may still work, and you'll just only be able to do text installs. Right now I don't have separated a list of packages anaconda needs to create its images vs a list of packages in the compose.
Currently anaconda builds both a stage2.img (graphical) and a minstg2.img (text) image. As a first step would it possible to have anaconda just build the minstg2.img (textonly) image depending on a commandline option? I'm wondering what exactly pulls in the xorg packages. Is this something gets pulled in because anaconda-runtime has dependencies to xorg? So that would mean in order to build an iso without xorg would need a custom anaconda-runtime package with different dependencies? note: upd-instroot contains a list of all the needed packages that are used during image creation.

That is all done by anaconda-runtime's splittree.py, and what you're trying to do doesn't sound all that accomplishable unfortunately.
What exactly makes anaconda 'ask' for the 2nd disc? Would it be possible to just generate a single CD with pungi and "manually" generate a 2nd "application" ISO with a repository on it that can be used during installation? Then you could alter the pungi generated iso to let anaconda know it's a 2disc installation.
