Git knowledge and patience to find and group the commits from 
omnios-illumos https://github.com/omniosorg/illumos-omnios that modify 
files under usr/src/pkg and the makefiles and push it through 
https://illumos.org/docs/contributing/

Probably also some Wine and nice mails to the omnios guys as they 
probably have already intended on doing so and have some more info about 
this set of commits or the diff.

If you manage to find a git invocation that shows the differing files 
between forks, that would help a lot already.

Hope this gives a starter
