Create an empty package (one with no services).  Order that package for
the customer.  Once the package has been ordered, hit the "customize
pricing" link for that package.  Change the setup fee to your one-time
charge and verify that the recurring fee and frequency are 0.  The custom
pricing will be for this instance for this customer only, not every
instance of the package. 

Interface-wise, this could be laid out a little better, though in the
back-end it would be doing the same thing.

Hope that helps.
