Another option would be to have your preference pane launch a little installer that won't proceed until the user quits System Preferences. Something like "In order to uninstall MyAwesomeFoo, please quit System Preferences". Then wait until the app quits, then dismiss the dialog and proceed. You might even be nice and have a "Quit it for me" button, that does the AppleScript thing.
