Yes, normally you create a buildtool.mk file which does the unpacking,
configuring and building of the source. And after that it copies the
built files to the right locations, so that it can be packaged.

You might want to take a look at a buildtool.mk file from the source
of an existing package, for example from bash:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/src/bering-uclibc/apps/bash/buildtool.mk?view=markup

See above: copy the files using buildtool.mk (or manually).
