Running an installer from within a postscript should work fine. I’m currently doing it with MS Office (among other products) without repacking MS’s package.

Have the main installer putting the secondary installer in a /tmp location and then engage the second installer using the following command in the postscript.

installer -pkg /private/tmp/office/office2008/Office\ Installer.mpkg -target LocalSystem

Yep, I have confirmed that this works on Tiger + Leopard. The second installer is very fast (just installs a StartupItem), so all seems well.
