Alexander, This should be quite easy to do, because bundles can be installed from simple InputStreams. If you have a bundle that handles the decryption of the bytes then you can feed the decrypted bytes to the framework.
Please bear in mind though that encrypting code can always be worked around, so it generally fails as a security device. The code has to be unencrypted somewhere on the user's hardware and you have to deploy the decryption key to the user! The best you can hope for is to obfuscate this process a little, but it will never give you real security.
