Hey Art: I haven't tested this, but I think as long as you used the ES/AS media to install the OSCAR headnode, but copy the RPMs from WS to /tftpboot/rpm (you will need some server RPMs like tftp-server, mysql-server from ES/AS media though...), your resulting image should be a WS image.
This is slightly different from the multi-distro question that was asked earlier. Concerning updates - we'll write a response to oscar-users by the end of the week.
