A package is any folder disguised as a single icon (which includes .pkgs). At least, it was in the good old days. You can turn a folder into a package simply by changing its extension (you don't need any tools as all).
To distribute a package you will need to archive it (.zip is built into 10.2+ you know... just right-click) or distribute it as a disk image (.dmg) file (the tools are in Applications/Utilities).
Mac apps tend to seem more professional when distributed as disk images (and you can customize the look of the dmg by adding background images to the windows and so forth), so I highly recommend that.
Carbon apps, libraries, and UNIX command line tools are not packages, everything else is. So, I guess I should have know BlitzMax was producing packages :)
