Packaging is for a long time expert field.
I always say: if you can do ./configure; make; make install, then you can easily package it. This is of course the easiest type of package and is certainly not working with everything you can find upstream. But god knows, I've been doing some packages by know and this very often DOES work.
I also wrote an article about such a package: http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/?p=5 (shameless publicity, I know.. but so be it).
Just remember: a spec file is a shell script. So writing simple scripts can help. but if the 'normal' configure ; make works, there is not much to script.
Give it a try!

I must add that the build service has a wizard that creates an initial spec file that I've used to create a spec file from scratch for rosegarden-qt4. So all you have to do to get started is register a build service account and with the help of the osc man page and maybe ask a bit on the build service list, download the source package, create a package in your home project then upload the source package and use the wizard to create your spec file and chances are you will end up with a built package.
