You could try a 'Finish Up' pane in the installer. This is shown when the installer finishes. If you put the text in red and bold, it may draw attention to it before the user pushes the quit button.
The advantage to an additional popup you describe is that it is different (assuming it pops up in front...I've noticed that they sometimes popup behind in Snow Leopard).
