Pre-Scripts can be used to modify the autoinst.xml file.
If autoyast detects modified xml file after secution of pre script,
it read the modified file and uses it. So you could have a template 
as mac address in your xml file and let pre-script replace template 
by real mac address of system

They are explained in chapter 4.16.1 of 
http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast

Here is an example of a pre script that replaces /dev/sdx in
partitioning section of autoinstall.xml by a disk of appropriate
size in the system. Similar stuff could be done to modify
mac address.
