This is the way I have done it.  I use the system-wide pear to install
Horde4 in a directory called /usr/share/horde4 and a horde-specific
pear install to install Horde5 in a directory called
/usr/share/horde5.  It's simple, just remember to use the correct pear
command for the correct install.

Everyone has an opinion of course.  Untarring tarballs was possibly
easier, especially when scripting an upgrade, but the pear method
allows for easier uninstall and version control - it seems to be a
problem for you because your server is not directly connected to the
internet.  But as has been pointed out before, you are free to
download the pear .tgz files anyway.  Even though there are more of
them a simple bash-script should make it very easy.

Dunno, sorry.
