I've look and don't see any conflict at this time.

PECL packages could(should) probably drop the pecl  (php-foo) as some 
extensions from core php has been dropped and put to pecl (mailparse, 
with php 4.2  for ex.) and other pecl extensions has been included in 
php main core tarball (pdo, with php-5.1 for ex.)

Only one extension in extras with  pecl : php-pecl-mailparse.
Lot of extensions without pecl : php-mhash, php-mcrypt, php-tidy, 
php-dbase...

So PEAR packages could keep the pear to avoid name conflict.
Only one extension in extras  : php-pear-DB
But lot of extensions are in review.
