There is extensive documentation on docs.sun.com.

You can also cheat and use a version of Philip Brown's gnutopkg script
I hacked up here that makes it dead easy to package things that use
gnu autotools (ugh) to build:

http://icculus.org/~eviltypeguy/pkg/gnutopkg

It will ask you all of the questions needed and then create a package
for you in the current directory.

I would encourage you to read the docs at docs.sun.com, but the tool
will help you cheat while you get your feet wet. Plus, you can look at
the files it creates to get an idea of what to do yourself.
