I'm coming in late, so may be missing what Andrew's question is.  There 
is no binary for jpkg -- it is a verb defined in the script

~system/util/pacman.ijs

On my Windows 7 32-bit system that translates to

c:/users/kip murray/j701/system/util/pacman.ijs

Below are the verb jpkg and its cover jpkg_z_ , copied from the above 
script.  More important than the verbs themselves may be the question, 
how did I find them?  The answer is, I knew from examples in

http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/JAL/Package%20Manager/jpkg/

that the first step for using jpkg in the J console is to do

load 'pacman'

That told me to look in noun Public_j_ (just type its name) to see the 
file name for pacman (which I give above).  (I can never remember the 
spelling of Public_j_ so I used names_j_'' to find the spelling.) Then 
look through script pacman.ijs to find the two verbs.  For what it's 
worth here are the two verbs.

jpkg=: 4 : 0
   select. x
   case. 'history';'manifest' do.
     x showfiles_console y
   case. 'install' do.
     install_console y
   case. 'reinstall' do.
     remove_console y
     install_console y
   case. 'remove' do.
     remove_console y
   case. ;:'show search showinstalled shownotinstalled showupgrade 
status' do.
     x show_console y
   case. 'update'  do.
     updatejal ''
   case. 'upgrade' do.
     upgrade_console y
   case. do.
     msg=. 'Valid options are:',LF
     msg=. msg,'  history, install, manifest, remove, reinstall, show, 
search,',LF
     msg=. msg,'  showinstalled, shownotinstalled, showupgrade, status,',LF
     msg,'  update, upgrade'
   end.
)
jpkg_z_=: 3 : 0
   'help' jpkg y
   :
   a=. conew 'jpacman'
   res=. x jpkg__a y
   destroy__a''
   res
)
