Holding the brake just enough to lock the front tires and applying the gas at the same time (in drive) to get the tires spinning and holding this position while spinning the tires.. that is powerbraking in an automatic...

In a manual you rev it up a bit, get em spinning in first (or second) then get on the brake while holding the gas to stop the forward motion of the truck while roasting the back tires... can be fun but it is bad for brakes.... IF you are real good you do this in first to get the tires warm, release the brake and once you are movign slightly shift to second to put down some rubber and then shift to third to put down more... not sure how many people can put more rubber in 4th, i never could but I could do 1-2-3 pretty good in my last truck... Only tried it a couple times the day before I traded it in though...
