For OS 9, there's PackType, http://home.comcast.net/~saweyer/newton/

For OS X, there's Packager, http://metastasis.net/mici/pkgs/pkger_e.html
Or for sh$ts and giggles (the non-NCU option), you can turn on the
web server on your mac, put the .pkg files in the root directory,
and use a Newton web browser to download and install them all at once.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't say don't forget to check the FAQ :),
but then again I always thought "remiss" was a term used in gender
reassignment. Ah, it's late, I really must get to bed.
