Yes.
or :
%php_extdir %(%{_bindir}/php  --extension-dir)

Patch proposed upstream... waiting.

It's php-pecl-phar ;)

It have been approved by tibbs.
Only pushed to "devel" to make it more available for tests.

I will work on the PHP Guidelines Draft ASAP (Waiting for feedback before).

I Think i will propose to use something like :

%post
%if 0%{?pecl_install:1}
%{pecl_install} %{pecl_xmldir}/%{name}.xml >/dev/null || :
%endif

In this way, the same spec could be use with old PEAR version (where
"pear install" doesn't work, especially in EPEL) and with new where it
works (and where macros are defined, Fedora >= 7). Because, i don't find
a simple solution to check PEAR version in scriptlet (without using rpm
command).
