Great!

After a make extract, package.xml is extracted into ${WRKDIR}.

Actually, the existing PEAR packages register themselves! For example,
check sysutils/pear-Log, target post-install:

# Register a new package
     @${PEAR} install -r -f ${WRKDIR}/package.xml

and there is a pkg-deinstall to unregister it.
