Most people aren't aware you can do this, nor how. apkg comes with an
option to do that automatically, at least as far as extracting to the
current directory goes. It doesn't add much for the expert, but makes
it simple for a general user.

Not for a program. I find this to be (somewhat) intriguing. Could be
scripted thus:
cd work
gunzip -c $PKG | tar xvf -
CONFLICT=0
for FILE in $(find .); do
if [ -e /$FILE ]; then
echo "package contents conflict: $FILE" 1>&2
CONFLICT=1
fi
done
return $CONFLICT
