We extend fundamental results concerning Apollonian packings, which constitute a major object of study in number theory, to certain homogeneous sets that arise naturally in complex dynamics and geometric group theory. In particular, we give an analogue of D. W. Boyd's theorem (relating the curvature distribution function of an Apollonian packing to its exponent and the Hausdorff dimension of the residual set) for Sierpiński carpets that are Julia sets of hyperbolic rational maps.
