I have modified some content in one of the .pk3 files, and it's not showing up in-game. I had unzipped the .pk3 file and zipped it back up, but that did nothing.
What am I doing wrong?

It depends upon what have you modified.

Giving out more info about what did you do may resulting with a correct answer.

Yeah, I guess. I modified a targa file for the Machine Gun in the weapon2 folder, inside pak0.pk3.

Care to mention which pk3 you've modified? If it's one of the game's pak*.pk3 files, then you did something wrong.

Don't ask yourself what OpenArena can do for you.
Better ask yourself what YOU can do for OpenArena.

I did mention the .pk3 in the post above. Why is it that I should not modify the default .pk3 files?

Maybe he meant "If you modified one of the game's pak*.pk3 files, and it still doesn't work, this probably means that you did something wrong while you did it.", maybe....

Anyway (be aware that I may say something wrong):
- modifying a baseoa "factory" pk3 may give you problems, if you want to connect to "pure servers" (most servers)
- if you modified a texture and it seems unmodified when you play, maybe it is not the one really used: they could simply be there two similar textures, but with only one really used (for example machinegun.tga instead of machineg.tga); or maybe there is another one with the same name but in another pk3 file, that has an higher "pak" number in its name, or that is in your "%appdata%" folder instead of your installation folder, thus "overrides" your texture in the pak0.
- maybe you could try to restore the original pk3 file (if necessary, download the installation package again), then create a new file, for example pak8-mytexture.pk3 that contains (obviously, with the right path inside!) only your custom texture. This way, when connecting to a "pure" server, your custom pk3 should simply be ignored, but when playing locally or on an "unpure" server, you should see your customized texture. It's just an idea...

Alright, well, thanks for your help guys.
I have a side question: What do these errors mean?
ld: library not found for -lvorbisfile
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [build/release-darwin-ppc/openarena.ppc] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [targets] Error 2
make: *** [release] Error 2

This probably means you do not have the vorbis development package installed.

That little error is fixed, but now I'm getting this error:

ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [build/release-darwin-ppc/openarena-smp.ppc] Error 1
make[1]: *** [targets] Error 2
make: *** [release] Error 2

Sorry for double post.
Here's a nice little question:
What is your step process for packaging and making a mod playable?
