I think this has already been done. Just pick games with opposite side castling and make a book from them. No big deal.

The easiest and quickest way is to edit weights/scores of an existing book. Chess GUIs/chess engines will select moves based on their scores, after comparing them with scores of other moves (that are from the same positions). Modify scores of moves on the lines you want to higher values, the others in lower scores you can control how to pick up opening moves.
You may try my Banksia GUI. After opening (menu -> Tools -> Opening), a Polyglot book will be displayed in the form of a tree. Just double click on any score you want to edit, modify then press enter to complete. That is all

WinBoard/XBoard allows you to filter for such games. (But it is not really a database program, so on huge PGN it could be pretty slow.)
First load the PGN collection through File - Load Game. Then set up a position with the white King on g1 and the black King on c8. You can then use the Position Search mode "Match if position is subset" (in the Options - Load Game dialog); this should only leave the games with white O-O and black O-O-O in the Game List (where neither King moved before the other castled). You can then specify a name for the book in the Engine - Common Settings dialog, and use File - Save Games to Book to make the filtered games into a book. You could then change the board position to one with the white King on c1 and the black King on g8, and repeat the procedure (using Save Games to book twice to force an overwrite of the file).
