Done but.

1.- I remove the lighthttpd dependency, because if i have apache, cherokee or another webserver configured i won't install another webserver and make conflicts ;-).

2.- This pkg is very basic, (web packages are almost basic) and you can do things in a non-automatic way example:

2.1 Do a : ln -s /srv/www/mantis/ to your /http/pathdir (By default in ArchLinux-Apache's is /home/httpd/html but i use other path (/var/www/ ) so in my case i will have to do ln -s /srv/www/mantis /var/www/mantis ).
2.2 Check the permissions, you must have at least 755, usually this point is 'hard' to understand but check that httpd user (in ArchLinux-Apache nobody is the default)
2.2 Point your browser at the following url: http://yoursite/mantis/admin/install.php

And off course

Check that you have the database engine and webserver running and well-configured.

Cheers!

Thanks for your help, some notes:

a) AFAIK - PostgreSQL only works with version 1.2.0.a1 and above

b) Can you change the source line to?
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mantisbt/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz)

c) Added some ideas to the build section. Would like to make the installation is as automagical as possible - it gives new users a solid default and a guide to learn from. Can you please help me with it?

build() {
# http://www.mantisbt.org/manual/manual.installation.php
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/srv/www/${pkgname}
cp -aR $startdir/src/${_pkgname}-${pkgver}/* $startdir/pkg/srv/www/${pkgname}/
# check - new install or upgrade?
# check permissions -- 755
# create user and/or group?
# create the database file
echo "Creating Database file..."
echo "To finish Mantis installation, please point your browser at the following url: http://YOURSITE/mantis/admin/install.php"
}

You don't want to do this kind of stuff at build time (in the build function), but at install time, when you install the package with pacman.
This is done with scriptlets. See man PKGBUILD or just look at example .install files through ABS.
