If you want to create a file you can use a here document. For example,
my kickstart has entries such as:

# Add Network Time Protocol for Time Synchronization
/bin/cat >> /etc/cron.hourly/99ntpdate <<'xxEOFxx'
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ntpdate chronos.digitalhermit.com | logger -p cron.info
xxEOFxx


This will create the script in /etc/cron.hourly, for example. You can
do a similar thing for the file you want to create.

I believe you can also use "expect" scripts within kickstart so you
could create an expect script (either manually or with autoexpect) and
use the here doc method to create a temporary expect script.
