You could use Chef to build such a system, then use another tool like
FPM to package the results or create those packages by hand the old
fashioned way.

That said, I'd recommend against it. If the customer ever makes a
change, you lose the configuration management. At least give them the
Chef cookbooks and have them run on their systems using chef-solo.
