Authenticating multiple Installers with one prompt

I'm writing a utility for my school that basically mimics Apple's 
Software Update in some respects for registration on our network. (No 
outgoing connections are allowed until we've verified that the user 
is up-to-date on security patches. This disables Software Update.)

All I do now is download the needed updates and throw them into 
Installer. But I'd really like it if the user only had to 
authenticate once for the whole she-bang instead of once for each 
package. Is this possible with the public APIs?
