It's not that easy.

PEAR doesn't have support for multiple directories, so if you change
the *_dir to /usr/local/share/php/.. then you have basically lost all
packages installed in /usr/share/php.

# pear config-show | grep _dir | grep share/php
PEAR documentation directory   doc_dir          /usr/share/php/doc
PEAR directory                 php_dir          /usr/share/php
PEAR configuration file        cfg_dir          /usr/share/php/cfg
PEAR data directory            data_dir         /usr/share/php/data
PEAR test directory            test_dir         /usr/share/php/test
PEAR www files directory       www_dir          /usr/share/php/htdocs
