Audacity (and PortAudio, and many other things) are already in
spec-files-extra: http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/spec-files-extra/
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pkgbuild/index.php?title=Pkgbuild_on_OpenSolaris

pkgbuild is the tool used to build GNOME and other desktop software in
OpenSolaris/Solaris 11/OpenIndiana. The KDE packages are also built
with it.
