I don't know the internals of PLaneT, so I can't really be helpful here. The vague idea I had seems pretty usual: abstract the interface that talks to the repository, break up the existing client-side implementation code (e.g., fetch package from repository, install package, query information, etc.) into a few big chunks that can be called by the default plugin or composed by user-provided plugins, then provide the plugin interface (perhaps as one or more parameters storing callback procs for things like require-a-package or fetch-info-about-a-package or whatever is needed by PLaneT; or single parameter storing struct of multiple callback procs).<br>
