You can find information about the AUR and how to install packages from it here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR

dump and restore are deprecated in Linux IIRC. Other utilites are available. There's even a quote by Torvalds where he disses them

There's nothing wrong with the classics

Does AUR must be compiled from source?
I would like to use pkgsrc if that

You can use pkgsrc if you want, but I expect your next question will be "why can't I find pkgsrc in pacman?"

Follow the link Xyne gave you, learn about the AUR and the Arch Build System (ABS), and create the package(s) you require in a manner compatible with the distro that you have chosen.
