Depends on what you mean by XPInstall. The native stub installs have a
"silent" mode. If you really mean a pure XPInstall then we're only a couple
steps away from something like
  xpinstall -d <dest> foo.xpi bar.xpi

But someone would have to write that xpinstall executable. the xpistub
library used by the native installers would probably be a good base. The
logic would look something like

   XPI_Init( dest... );
   while (xpi files)
      XPI_Install(file);
   XPI_Exit();
