I am aware of one marketplace which is completely based on open source stack - and it is used in .. no surprise .. openHAB. :-)
There is Eclipse Marketplace which offers some kid of listing of resources which can be downloaded and installed in end-user environment. The marketplace is a webservice, openhab have special client which downloads bundles or KARs and tells karaf to install them. Having said there is still a lot of things which are left unresolved - such as payments and/or licensing. Another marketplace which you might not be fully aware of is Atlassian - their plugins are running with OSGi under the hood.
