I can tell you what I did in order to get mkgmap working with pbf files, 
but I'm getting strange routing results (see my next post), so I may 
have done something wrong:
1-Download osmosis 0.37 [1] and open it. Under lib/default/ you will 
find a lot of jar files, including the necessary ones to build mkgmap 
with pbf support.
2-Copy osmbin-xxx.jar to mkgmap/opt/jars/osmprotobuf/osmprotobuf.jar (*)
3-Copy protobuf-java-2.3.0.jar to 
mkgmap/opt/jars/protobuf-2.3.0/protobuf.jar (*)
(*) according to mkgmap/external.properties both jar files are looked 
for under /opt/jars but I think it must be an error, so I edited it to 
point to (mkgmap/)opt/jars
4- ant dist
