Hello Janaki,

      I'm new to installer / uninstaller stuff in Mac OS X. I'm doing a port of Windows application to Mac.My Application has kext , mac application and some files in /opt folder.

/opt is not a standard location on OS X, and if you want my opinion: Don't use it.

     I've managed to create an installer using Package Maker in Mac OS X Tiger. But couldn't find any application which creates Uninstaller for my application.

     I've googled for it , many blogs say that there is no Uninstaller in Mac till now. Is it True ?

There is not uninstaller from Apple, that is true:

"The Installer application does not support uninstalling products."
Limitations of Managed Installs

     My application installer should have an UI which should be similar to installer and delete the required files in background.

I would write something like this myself (and in fact, I do)
