Use 'tasksel'
Thanks Andrei!
I kinda figured it involved tasksel. The question is, what particular
options to tasksel (and surrounding environment[*]) do I need to use
to get it to install the xfce (or kde, or any other non-gnome) session
manager with the exact same set of component packages that I would
have gotten had I used the xfce install CD?
Thanks!

[*] for an example of what I mean by "surrounding environment", Franz
Pop suggested I use.
echo "tasksel tasksel/desktop string kde" | debconf-set-selections
