Here is what I'm trying right now. With obmtool-1.38 it fails for the 
openpkg-...src.sh package, but I already sent a fix to Thomas Lotterer. 
With my fixlet it seems to run very well and automatically fetch packages 
from the various dirs at ftp.openpkg.org and ftp.kdab.net. The only problem 
is that it puts an additional responsibility on the people who mirror kolab:
Each mirror must replace ftp://ftp.kdab.net/... with an URL for their own server. 
That can of course be automated easily. NOTE: ftp.kdab.net is very low bandwidth, 
please use a mirror instead.

Quote from my obmtool.conf:

%common
    @hasfeature TAGFMT || exit   # require obmtool to support TAGFMT
    TMPDIR=/var/tmp    # large tmp with 300MB space
    URL="ftp://ftp.kdab.net/pub/kolab/server/current/" # used for non-ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/ packages

%kolab
    echo "---- boot/build ${NODE} %${CMD} ----"
    PREFIX=/${CMD};
    loc='' # '' (empty) for ftp.openpkg.org, '=' for URL, './' for CWD or absolute path
    altloc='='

    # start from scratch or upgrade within 2.0.x
    @install ${loc}openpkg-2.1.2-2.1.2 \
        --tag="kolab" \
        --prefix="${PREFIX}" \
        --user="${CMD}" --group="${CMD}" \
        --muid="19414" --ruid="19415" --nuid="19416" \
        --mgid="19414" --rgid="19415" --ngid="19416"
	...
	@install ${altloc}perl-kolab-5.8.4-20040826
