Hi! Do you ever try pkg_manage, It's a "ASCII-graphic" tool to manage the installation and deinstallation of packages. It shows the installed packages and you can chose several actions per simple key click. If you are locking for a tool to create a package out of a source tree, i.e. building the patch files, etc. I dont know a better solution than doing it by feet/hand.
