Can I refer to files outside of a .pax archive?

It seems that the uncompressed option merely generates a very large .pax file in the resulting .pkg file. Is there a way to just have an package refer to bits already unpaxed? The idea here is that on the installation disc, there's a full installation that you can drag-n-drop, but if you really want to, you can run the installer. I'd prefer not to have to duplicate the data (one full set + one compressed set), but rather just have the installer refer to the files already layed out on the CD.
