You'd need to add a new price plan to httemplate/edit/part_pkg.cgi

I sugest starting with the "prorate" plan as a skeleton (it already does
the date manipulation you're looking for); it would need to be adjusted to
charge full price for the first month.

Good luck!  Please consider contributing your changes back to the
project.
