Responding to my own E-mail by following Alan's instructions and making the following changes to the mkspec ( --dracut --host-only ) - have a kernel rpm
built. Still in the process of testing it.

echo "%post"
echo "if [ \`uname -i\` == \"x86_64\" -o \`uname -i\` == \"i386\" ]; then"
echo "  if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/kernel ]; then"
echo "    /bin/sed -i -e 's/^DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-smp$/DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel/' /etc/sysconfig/kernel || exit \$?"
echo "  fi"
echo "fi"
echo "/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --host-only --add-plymouth-initrd --depmod --install "$KERNELRELEASE" || exit \$?"
echo ""

echo "%preun"
echo "/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --rminitrd --dracut --rmmoddep --remove "$KERNELRELEASE" || exit \$?"
echo ""
