I managed to create an elpa compatible tar for orgmode. Recording here
what I did in the hope that it will be useful.

Creating ELPA-compatible tar:

1. Add the enclosed changes to Makefile.
2. Create an ELPA-compatible tarfile with 
   $ make TAG=20100930 elpa
3. Copy the generated org-20100930.tar to the package server

ELPA Server-side setup:

1. Server is running on loopback IP.

,----[ C-h v package-archives RET ]
| package-archives is a variable defined in `package.el'.
| Its value is 
| (("self" . "http://127.0.0.1/packages/"))
| 
`----

2. Directory structure

,----
| > dir packages
|             97 archive-contents
|      3,778,560 org-20100930.tar
|                2 File(s)      3,778,657 bytes
| 
| > cat packages/archive-contents 
|
| (1
|  (org .
|       [(20100930)
|        nil "Outline-based notes management and organizer" tar])
|  )
| 
`----


3. .emacs

,---- 
| (custom-set-variables
|  '(package-archives (quote (("self" . "http://127.0.0.1/packages/")))))
`----

,---- [ .emacs ]
| (when (load (expand-file-name "~/elisp/package.el"))
|   (package-initialize))
`----

The tar file is now ready for installation with M-x list-packages etc
etc.

An Observation:

package.el generates an 'org-autoloads.el' as part of compilation and
loads the same as part of activation. This means that autoloads such as
'org-agenda' gets served from the newly installed package while
non-autoloads like 'org-overview' still point to the old installation.

This means that a restart of Emacs is necessary for the new changes to
take effect. I am not sure whether it is intended. But this behaviour
could surprise the user.
