It appears to use the pkg script for installing, just like BL1.  I just
tried installing MC from the BL1 site this way and it worked.  There must
be some limitations to what can be installed (dependency conflicts,
missing libs, etc).  Steven will of course have better ideas about that.
I suppose some experimentation will be involved in working out the
specifics.
