At the beginning of our application we check for a potentially displaced kernel extension.

I would like to build a tiny package to accomplish this with a couple of minimal dialogs - intro, privilege elevation, do the deed, closing dialog. PackageMaker does a fairly complete number, but it still is "wordy". Are there other tools or ways to use PackageMaker from the command lines that make it simpler.

I'd like to avoid doing a cocoa app, but a shell prompt is also not good for customers...

You probably want to use PackageMaker's embedded command-line utility:

espich$ /Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/ MacOS/PackageMaker -help

    packagemaker --root | -r root-path
                 --doc | -d pmdoc-path
                 --out | -o destination-path
                 --id | -i package-identifier
                 --version | -n version
                 --title | -t title
                 --install-to | -l install-to-path
                 --info | -f info-path
                 --resources | -e resources-path
                 --scripts | -s scripts-path
                 --certificate | -c certificate-name
                 (--filter | -x regular-expression)*
                 (--target | -g 10.5 | 10.4 | 10.3)*
                 (--domain | -h system | user | anywhere)*
                 --verbose | -v
                 --no-recommend | -m
                 --root-volume-only | -b
                 --discard-forks | -k
                 --temp-root

Creating a snapshot package:
    packagemaker --watch [normal options, except --doc and --root]

Signing an existing flat package/metapackage:
    packagemaker --sign path-to-pkg
                 --certificate | -c certificate-name
                 [--out | -o] destination-path

Backwards compatible mode:
    packagemaker -build -proj pmproj-path
                        -p destination-path
                        [-b build-path]
                        [-s] [-ds] [-v] [-u]

    packagemaker -build -f root-path
                        -p destination-path
                        -i info-plist-path
                        [-r resources-path]
                        [-d description-plist-path]
                        [-b build-path]
                        [-s] [-ds] [-v] [-u]

    packagemaker -build -mi | -mc | -ms packages-directory-patch
                        -p destination-path
                        -i info-plist-path
                        [-r resources-path]
                        [-d description-plist-path]
                        [-b build-path]
                        [-v]
