That will be handled "automagically" by the website if the naming
scheme will be consistent with Windows, it will recognize it as main
installer + helppack and add corresponding download buttons for the
help instead of the langaugepack for 24.8 and will use the langpack
buttons for the older releases.

The only thing necessary is that the filenames of the generated
packages then are
LibreOffice[Dev]_<version>_MacOS_<arch>_helppack_<languagecode>.dmg instead of
LibreOffice[Dev]_<version>_MacOS_<arch>_langpack_<languagecode>.dmg
