These packages that are created with Payload-Free-Package-Creator should be able to be imported into Munki right? This may tie into this now that I am finding it. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/munki-dev/zPNfOTJVwlQ

Payload-free packages generated with this tool should not be used with Munki. This is because it uses pkgbuild’s method of generating payload-free packages, which does not leave a recipt behind.

For more information on pkgbuild and it not leaving receipts behind, please see here:

This issue should now be resolved by the latest release of Payload-Free Package Creator.app, which is using a different way of generating installer packages. For details on the change, please see here:
