Let me quote the fine manual: :)

      All boolean options (i.e. those which do not take an
      argument) can be negated on the command line by specifying
      --no-option to override settings from configuration files.
      Version 2.32 or newer of the Getopt::Long module is
      required. Example: If noreboot=1 is set in pca.conf it can
      be overridden with --no-noreboot.

So "pca --no-nocheckxref" should do what you want.

hth,
Martin.
