If you want to see what the package contains, try building dmg2img  
from here:
http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/

Use that to extract the HFS image from the package, then examine it  
one of the HFS tools from ports/emulators,

But as others have mentioned, you may not be able to do much with the  
contents.
