Hi and thanks for the response.
This looks to be pretty much what I'm looking for: 
http://sling.apache.org/site/content-loading-jcrcontentloader.html
<http://sling.apache.org/site/content-loading-jcrcontentloader.html>  

I want to structure an existing bundle in such a way that it can be loaded
in the Sling JCR in an unstructured way. These Bundles are located in remote
OBRs. 

You can register remote OBRs with Felix making those bundles accessible.
This Felix instance will be administered and will be the central GW for
obtaining info from the remotes. An administrator will explicitly add or
remove these OBRs based on business criteria but all internal consumers can
only access this information through the GW and that information is
presented in an unstructured format through Sling's REST based APIs

So basically the flow I'm considering is this:
- External OBR comes online for product A-C
- Administrator examines OBR and contained bundles to verify content is
structured correctly as defined by the Sling-Initial-Content per bundle
- OBR is approved and is registered with central GW component
- OBR bundles are then installed (here though I'm not sure how to do this
atm, the bundles will go into Sling JCR and being accessible through Felix
is not really relevant)
- Content is now accessible by internal products A-C

So by making all content structured and layed out correctly through use of
the Sling-Initial-Content header then a provider and consumer may agree upon
a contract. I'm looking at this approach because often the consumers
internally will not be able to leverage the bundles directly since many are
non-OSGi based. My hope is that this way a decent generic distribution
channel can be defined.

This is still very early but I'm liking what I see so far. It is also good
to see that these technologies are leveraged in commercial based products
such as some of the blogs I have read on Adobe. So there has already been
some trial by fire so to speak :)
