I don't think there's more than the Declaring actions part of
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/polkit.8.html.

 Should a package just install
 it's .policy files in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions? Is there an rpm macro for
 the location?
Just hard-code the directory name; if the directory name ever changed,
the format of the .policy files would very likely change as well, so
adding a macro wouldn't save any work.

 And what about naming them? Besides ending in .policy and making a sensible
 reference to the package and action, is there a recommendation or requirement?
I can't find official documentation; I'd suggest that using the same
format as most other files do.
