I had a similar issue just now, and went for installing PEAR in exactly the directory you mentioned.

curl -O http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar

I changed the installation base directory ($prefix) to point to /opt/local and ran the installer. It amended my php.ini file to include the PEAR path.

My bash path already contained /opt/local/bin, so PEAR just worked!
