We have never thought about it, but this would be technically difficult.
But you may migrate your svn (or the part which contains the package) to
R-Forge and have the advantage of daily build and checked packages with
the possibility to install it directly from R-Forge:
|install.packages("/packagename/",repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org";)|
