You might look at some of the examples that do this already, either in AUR or ABS.

Some examples:
various games
j2re
flash-plugin
opera
acroread

if you run the command 'abs' as root, you can find these PKGBUILDs in subdirectories of /var/abs.  Hopefully you could adapt one of those to your binary program.
