Jerry,
I’m not sure of PackageMaker works recent versions of OS X, but I believe it is deprecated.
The current toolset is a suite of command line utilities—pkgbuild, productbuild, and pkgutil—editing an XML file along the way. I started with the SO page below when building an installer for one of our products.

I was eventually able to turn it into a Xcode script phase that runs only when installing, which assembles the package. Then I added post-action script in the scheme's Archive action that copies the installer into the archive, ready for export & distribution.
