Most probably adjustments regarding init scripts are required. Having a quick look at the Arch Linux CVS [1], their init scipts look rather BSD-ish. I haven't looked into details but I guess it would be best to call OpenPKG's rc scripts from Arch's rc.local. Furthermore there doesn't seem to be a /etc/crontab (right?) so we have to use root's crontab instead.
