I believe that making dmg files is quite difficult without OS X. The way to go is (confirmed here: [1]) is to create a template with the background and icons in place and then replace the contents of the disk image without touching the saved metadata. Uncompressed HFS+ images may be mounted on Linux but I am not sure if there is a way to do it without being root.

I believe there is a problem with compressing .dmg images without OS X. But these guys [2] seem to have some solution based on [3].
