I've briefly looked into this. You can't do it within a kickstart's %pre section because the environment doesn't have enough libraries loaded to allow MegaCli to run.
You can do it within a kickstart's %post section, which means you can create raid volumes for secondary drives, and format those. But you still have to have something like a /dev/sda to begin with. Obviously, it's also easy to do this with an xCAT postbootscript, and add the script to the postscripts table or the osimage table. That's what I currently do to create all my secondary drives. If you want to use MegaCli to create all of the raid disks though, I imagine you'd need to boot off the Genesis kernel first. Perhaps as part of the node discovery process.
