Actually its quite straightforward. Here are some links to get you started:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/contributing/building/
http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/
http://blogs.sun.com/eric_boutilier/entry/opensolaris_freeware_package_creation
http://blogs.sun.com/eric_boutilier/entry/opensolaris_freeware_package_creation_%28continued%29
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ch08s02.html#id2966564

And that doesn't mean RTFM ;-)

For the hackathon or not, if anyone is interested in a hands-on 
"PkgBuild For Dummies" session, please speak-up. We will decide upon it 
if we have a decent number.

Cheers,
Ananth
