Yeah, the package type is platform independent, and pretty
configurable. You can read more about the built-in types over at:

Honestly I wouldn't use package groups like this. I would just create
a RPM that requires all the stuff that I want installed and use
yum/apt to install that particular rpm. Also, for what its worth, I
would probably not ever use RPM directly. Setting up a local yum or
apt repository is easy and it will save you quite a bit of work in the
long run.
Also I'm not sure there isn't a way to get puppet's default package
provider to handle yum grouplists like the above, I've just never done
it.
