Is there anyway to edit a profile such that all systems descended from it will have a network interface already configured? Otherwise, the alternative is me having to patch the XMLRPC calls in Genome to create the interface when the system is created.
Yes, you need to fix Genome to where it creates at least one interface.
Just as a follow-up, would such a change be backwards-compatible with older cobbler versions (say 1.1.1 and above)?

Network interface handling has changed a lot sense then, but the APIs should be compatible. I say should because I haven't tested it. I'm pretty sure it would be fine with 1.4.X.
Still, I should caution you -- 1.1 was just a development build (odd number). It's also 10 months old -- so you are missing a ton of bugfixes.

1.6.4 comes out tomorrow. Perhaps time to schedule an upgrade to make things consistent.
