I believe you're mistaken: there is no import mechanism "hackery" in pkg_resources. (path is a documented hook, not a hack, and it's the only import-related hook that pkg_resources uses).
And, if you don't like namespace packages, perhaps you should be campaigning for this to be removed:
http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/lib/module-pkgutil.html
pkg_resources only updates the routine provided in pkgutil to be a bit more automatic, and to better support PEP 302 and zipfile importing.
