We don't have any objection to you - or anyone else - contributing a package to Spack (or any other package manager), subject to the Modeller license, of course. It looks like you would just need to open a pull request at their GitHub, https://github.com/spack/spack/pulls

Indeed, because the Install script just installs pre-built binaries; we cannot distribute source code for Modeller, so there is nothing to compile. Any Spack package would need to repackage these binaries, e.g. as is currently done for the conda package: https://github.com/salilab/conda-recipes/tree/main/modeller
