ISOC has documentation specifically targeting at registrars http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/resources/dnssec-registrars/ I know the RrSG has done some work for ones that are involved in that, there is also Deplay360 from ISOC http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/dnssec/ and a lot of community support behind it from a technical perspective for those interested.
