It seems to be the simplest way: the file package.xml must have been 
installed somewhere to be found by pkg-install. Perhaps pkg-install 
could remove this file after registration, and it could be managed with 
a dynamic pkg-plist? (I have not tried).

Perhaps... Everything is defined by ${PKGREGDIR}, it's easy to change. 
Note that pkg-install does not know anything about PEARDIR, it only 
knows PREFIX and PKGNAME.
