Yes. http://pear.horde.org/packages.json

All Horde packages are currently installable via composer.  See, e.g.,

Our plan is to soon add our distributions to packagist for  
installation via composer.

The problem is that composer has a giant usability hole regarding  
"global" installations.  The composer people try to play this off, but  
this is the main location where PEAR is totally superior.

No need to.  All Horde packages will be moved to separate repos (with  
its corresponding tags) in the very near future.
