Install the files on your Mac. Then use /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Package Maker (comes with Apple's developer tools bundled with OS X) to make a "Single Package Project", then click "Assist Me...". It'll prompt you for all of the files you want to include in your package (you can drag&drop from Finder), and allow you to specify target paths for each. Finally, it'll create a Mac OS X GUI installer for you to distribute to your users. You can also make packages for each component and bundle them in a "Metapackage Project", which bundles several packages into a single installer.
