Here's a sketch of what I'm thinking:

I added a backend for 'http-tar-gz'.
To the registry I added an example package, 'tspl':
(tspl
http-tar-gz
"http://proteus.freeshell.org/tspl.tar.gz";
())
Installing the 'tspl' package:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# scheme-script install.sps tspl
--14:56:28-- http://proteus.freeshell.org/tspl.tar.gz
=> `out.tar.gz'

If you install again:

# scheme-script install.sps tspl
Already installed

Aziz pointed out that in certain cases, there may be non-Scheme files
and that moreover, they may need to be processed and placed in
particular places. This could be handled by an 'install' script (itself
a Scheme program) which ships with the package. And the package manager
would run this at install time.
By the way, I had no idea what EPCOT stands for:
Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow
