I use shatter v4 from http://www.motionblur.it/ (It pre-breaks your object into configurable pieces) and convert those pieces to rigid bodies. You might want to read the doc on how to do this.. then it's basically just giving them an initial movement with a dummy collision object and tweak the simulation until you are happy.

This process may take some time though ;)
