several people suggested sunfreeware.com or docs.sun.com as a place to get
the answer.
Here is the response from Arthur Darren Dunham:
1) sunfreeware.com has a section on how they create their packages. You
might want to check that out.
2) You can go between filesystem packages and datastream packages with
pkgtrans.
3) Check docs.sun.com for the full information on package creation. I'd
look around for pkgtrans or something like that and then just browse the
whole manual.

Subject: creating Solaris packages
Hello All,
What tools would I need to create installable packages in
Solaris? Also, I have noticed that the packages that Veritas and Sun makes
you can use pkgadd -d <directory> but when installing packages from
sunfreeware.com you have to list the package name explicitly. So I guess I
need to know what tools that I need and the difference in configuration
between the two that I mentioned earlier.
Regards,
--Buddy
