There's a program called PackType which can change the type and creator
codes to those of a Newton package. Or you can use this AppleScript:
property chgCreator : "pkgX"
property chgType : "pkg "
on open currList
tell application "Finder"
set currListCount to count of items in currList
set currItem to 0
repeat currListCount times
set currItem to currItem + 1
set creator type of item currItem of currList to chgCreator
set file type of item currItem of currList to chgType
end repeat
end tell
end open
Should do the trick.
