If so, try adding "dest sd /media/card" to /etc/opkg/opkg.conf, then use "opkg -d sd install {opkgname}". The default opkg.conf just has "dest root /" but you can define other destinations with "dest {name} {path}". I'm assuming that enough of the original ipkg code remains that it would correctly install using /media/card/ in place of /, and symlink where necessary. (I've not tested) dpkg offers --instdir and --root options, but AFAIK it doesn't ensure that the result is accessible.
