yes lua could be a good idea for that purpose and it also would allow
users to easily extend pkg_install.

I have begun that: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Pkg_install2_specs if you
could add ideas and all stuff you have in mind about what has to be
and what could be in pkg_install, I'll cleanup the page after some
time, when all the needed discussion would be done and will transform
this page into real specifications.

Concerning having pkg_install into base or not, I really have no opinion?
