It seems you haven't yet read the pkgsrc developer's guide. It's 
available from:

    http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/developers-guide.html

If you don't understand anything in it, ask here.

You should also try the pkgtools/url2pkg package, which helps in 
creating packages from just a single URL.

The RCS Id help to identify different versions of a file, mostly for 
tracking bugs. If you are unsure, just run pkglint on your package. It 
will complain loudly if anything's missing. And if you don't understand 
pkglint's warnings, ask here.
