Just write a postinstall shell script that sets the permissions.
If you don't know in advance what permissions the installed app is
expecting on the files, then it's kind of hard to know what
permissions you need to set.
As with all installers, the permissions (and owner/group) depends on
the location of the application.
If the application is in /Applications, then something different from
root:admin (775/664) is probably wrong.
If the application is in ~/, then the owner and group are either
(user_id:user_id or user_id:staff) depending on the OS version you're
running.
Where is the application supposed to be installed?
If you need to change the permissions on some folders that already
exists, there is a flag to do so in Apple's package format (see the
Info pane if you're running PackageMaker on 10.2, the Settings pane if
you're using a 3rd party application).
