This is certainly possible with a postflight script. I would not go
with a full shell or applescript solution but use an additional
binary. As this would allow to use the Open Directory API to get the
list of users and their Home folder location and to use CoreFoundation
or Foundation API to work with the Property List files that are
probably being used (and since Apple is moving to Binary plist, I have
some doubt it's possible to edit them from a shell script).
The part about plist moving to binary is really sad. I use ANT to build
all of my plists manually to automate my build process. Changing over
to a binary format will make it much more difficult for me to support
the Mac platform. I hope they maintain backwards compatibility or
change their minds.
