You can always use any kind of installer locally and when it runs you
can upload the whole PEAR-directory to your host. No problem with
that. The only thing you're not allowed to is unpacking the .tgz of
each package and simply putting those files on the server, since you
will have a problem because the install-scripts didn't run.
PS: Please note that the things said above are right for most cases.
Forever, in some packages there might be absolute references to
datadirs etc. in the installed packages, created by the installer. So
you need to take care to copy also the datafiles to your server and
if needed adjust those paths to the once on your server if they
differ.
