tiks is the base package. so you should try:

<install-dir>/X3-3.0.0/lib/python/tiks/serverasset
(don't forget the __init__.py within tiks)

<include package="tiks.serverasset" />

but there might be dependencies to other tiks packages (at least to .i18n, .testing).

IMO the best (easiest) way for a first impression would be copying the whole tiks package to
<install-dir>/X3-3.0.0/lib/python/tiks

and all its package includes (svn://svn.tiks.org/repos/Tiks/trunk/package-includes-tiks)
to <install-dir>/X3-3.0.0/instance/etc/package-includes

(p.s. attention their is a bug using the fs directory manager in 
combination with the intid utility.)
