Of course, a tarball isn't really the ideal distribution medium for OS X.
Packages are essentially glorified directory structures with extra bits
cobbled in, so it should be easy to automate the package creation step. I
haven't found anything to do it in 5 minutes of searching, but it looks like
you can make the bill-of-materials file using /usr/bin/mkbom and you need to
stuff the whole /local-star (or whatever) tree into Archive.pax.gz, where a
.pax file is apparently something like a .tar file.
