I found this article from Simon Wheatley and found it very nice to do. But it didn’t seem to work on OpenSolaris… but don’t worry, it just needs a small fix, don’t use port 0 for _device-info._tcp, but just give it a port you are already advertising.
like:

<?xml version=”1.0″ standalone=’no’?><!–*-nxml-*–>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM “avahi-service.dtd”>
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards=”yes”>%h</name>
<service>
<type>_device-info._tcp</type>
<port>548</port>
<txt-record>model=RackMac</txt-record>
</service>
<service>
<type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type>
<port>548</port>
</service>
</service-group>
