Pkgutil already contains the tools you need (it was me replying in
that thread). Pkgutil can combine a full official repository with your
own local one just like we do for testing here at OpenCSW, see:

http://mirror.opencsw.org/testing.html

You also get tools for building and checking your own catalogs so you
should be all set.

In 1.5, which is available as beta 2, you can combine any number of
repositories and it will automatically find the latest package for you
unless you specifically ask for a certain version.
