Hey Kevin, Great, okay! Guido (gber on IRC) is heading up the OIAC effort - at the moment the best place to get started is with the Spec Files Extra project "SFE", which uses a tool called pkgbuild. pkgbuild takes RPM-like spec files and uses them to build software, so the main thing to do is to get started writing spec files. There's a #pkgbuild on irc.freenode.net and please do also drop by #oi-dev where myself/Guido/others can get you started. Saablover and Wilbs are also just getting started with this so you might want to chat to them.
