Michael, I don't have a cf3-specific tip for you but you might want to consider yum's package groups. Look into yum-groups-manager. I have a base package group with over a thousand RPMs in it. I then have cf3 do a "yum clean all; yum groupinstall basegroup" when needed and it will add any package additions.
yum-groups-manager -n"Base Group" --id=Base-Group --save=./basegroup.xml --merge=./comps.xml --mandatory `cat baserpms.txt` baserpms.txt is of the following format: a2ps.x86_64 acl.x86_64 acpid.x86_64 ... then you merge it into the default repo with: createrepo --database --update -g /mirror/linux/centos/5/os/x86_64/repodata/comps.xml /mirror/linux/centos/5/os/x86_64/ basegroup will now show up in "yum grouplist". This works on CentOS5, I'm assuming it'll do the same for RHEL6.
