I'm aware of some chash calculation issues on Windows (see bug 5946) but this is due to a CR/NL vs. NL issue. So I would not expect that issue to show up on the Mac.
I suspect that this problem is because you have an ELF file in that package. Calculating the elfhash requires an ELF library, which doesn't exist on Mac OS X. When you import SVR4 packages from the CD, it calculated the hashes from scratch (rather than using the manifest that was downloaded with pkgrecv), so it works. If you edit all of the elf attributes out of the manifest after downloading it with pkgrecv, I expect that publishing the package would work. Thanks.
