Try:
yum grouplist {to find out what groups are available}
yum groupinstall whatevergroup {to install it}

If those groups aren't to your liking you can:
- make a new repo creating the groups and group contents you like
or
- make an rpm/s that simply pulls in other rpms, see attached what I 
use. You need the rpm build tools to build the rpm into installable 
binary rpms. You can createrepo to make a yum installable repo out of 
the rpms you create.
