Functions are created?  You're talking about your own handlers or
something else?

In your own functions you can rebind *PACKAGE* to your liking.

  (let ((*package* (my-function)))
    ;; do something
    )

For existing TBNL functions the package shouldn't matter with the
exception of READ-FROM-STRING* the behaviour of which is documented:

  <http://weitz.de/tbnl/#read-from-string*>

Does that answer your question or am I misunderstanding?
