There is of course a chicken-egg problem: when you build OpenPKG from source you need development tools without having OpenPKG already in place. There are two options here: use the tools that come with your OS (if any) or start with a OpenPKG binary (same or different instance). You picked the first option which is perfectly valid. The minimum requirements for OpenPKG 2.0 are the availability of make, tar and cc (not necessarily GNU) where OpenPKG 1.x additionally needed uudecode. You can reproduce our setup by reviewing our "Operating System Prerequisites" [1] logs for OpenPKG 2.0 release engineering.
