$var = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($var) : $var;
Only code that deals directly with $_GET/$_POST etc should do anything like the above. - since most of PEAR is libraries and do not directly deal with this, It does not affect most packages.
The only exceptions I know of are:
Pager - not sure what it does
Quickforms - handles it AFAIK
Auth - handles it AFAIK.
Generally If the packages deals directly with input, I would presume it should handle it.
