PackageMaker installations can be extended by scripts which are

installation). Such scripts return a value which determines if the
installation continues or is cancelled.
RB's console app's can return a value using the command "quit([status])"
and therefore can be used to build PackageMaker scripts. But what about
scripts that need a user interface?
In my case, I need a dialog window which asks the user for his name and
license code. If the combination is valid, I want the installer to
install, if not, the installation should be cancelled.

I'm pretty damn certain that these scripts need to be executed by a shell. So the short answer would be no.

I suggest thinking of something else.
