Can you not make an installer which installs your app in /Applications and your helper app in Library/LaunchAgents, running whatever scripts are necessary?
Stephan Sudre wrote the awesome Packages app (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html) which will install just about anything just about anywhere. I use it for one of my apps which needs a couple of helper binaries stuffed into /usr/local/bin, it does a great job.
