If you include iHook with your package, you can push a script through it and use iHook to display your gui messages with progress bar etc.  That is how I do my first loginhook after imaging to let the user know what is going on.  Ihook is not big, and free to use.

Sorry, we don't have support for that in Installer.app.

If you really want, you could create a GUI application to show
progress. Yes, that's a lot of work.
