If you put it directly in the pom, then you could call "mvn plugin-name:goal" and it would execute the plugin directly. It should probably work with profiles as well.
But really, there is nothing stopping you from just having a build.xml file next to your pom.xml file and then calling ant directly to do little things like this. I would probably go this route myself.
