There wouldn't be one - the package is in the PKGS directory there
(reloc is the subdirectory in a package in directory format where
 relocatable files are stored).

To pkgadd it you would do
        pkgadd -d ~/packages/PKGS SFEtransmission

If you really want it in a *.pkg file, use pkgtrans to convert from
directory to single-file format.
