man yum.conf look for group_package_types:
group_package_types
List of the following: optional, default, mandatory. Tells yum
which type of packages in groups will be installed when
’groupinstall’ is called. Default is: default, mandatory

Run echo 'n' | yum groupinstall groupname
that'll show you. However, which pkgs will be installed will be dependent
on which pkgs are already installed.
