If multiple platforms (x86/PPC/SPARC) end up running Haiku, I could imagine an installer that comes with encrypted source code and compiles the application during install. This could even work to optimize applications for the specific CPU's upon install. Sort of like RPMS, but done right :) Obviously this would be in optional to the normal pre-compiled binary installer too.
There are no plans to support anything beyond SoftwareValet for R1, so this discussion about future software packaging for Haiku really belongs to the Glass Elevator mailing list.
