I've been using classes in our installs since sles9-sp3 and it carried
right over into sled/sles10 just fine.  

Our config is assembled via a rules.xml, our autoyast calls:
nfs://<host>/<path to sles10>/GV/profiles/ 

The main xml file has classes entries like:

  <classes config:type="list">
    <class>
      <class_name>software</class_name>
      <configuration>sles10.xml</configuration>
    </class>
  </classes>

from the GV/profiles/ path above:
$ cat classes/software/sles10.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd">
<profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns";>
    <software>
      <packages config:type="list">
        <package>openafs</package>
        <package>openafs-client</package>
        <package>openafs-devel</package>
      </packages>
      <patterns config:type="list">
        <pattern>base-32bit</pattern>
      </patterns>
    </software>
</profile>

I snipped most of the package and patterns bits, but you get the idea.
