This helps if you have a standard installation in addition to the
other ones. To create your own local packages, just follow the example
of the others:

  create a subdirectory "local"
  split(1) your tgz archive into local.aa, local.ab, local.ac, etc...

You can also include a local.mtree and local.inf, if you like.  The
archive is extracted into "/".
