I couldn't find a good way of doing this directly through PowerShell. If you don't mind using Chocolatey you can do it all from the Web Platform Installer Command Line (WebPICMD), example:

#Download and install Chocolatey and through Chocolatey install WebPICMD
iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString("https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1"))
cinst webpicommandline

#Install Url Rewrite and ARR
$webPiProducts = @('UrlRewrite2', 'ARRv3_0') 
WebPICMD /Install /Products:"$($webPiProducts -join ',')" /AcceptEULA

More info about WebPICMD here: http://www.iis.net/learn/install/web-platform-installer/web-platform-installer-v4-command-line-webpicmdexe-rtw-release

Inspiration for Chocolatey came from this blog post: http://www.tugberkugurlu.com/archive/script-out-everything-initialize-your-windows-azure-vm-for-your-web-server-with-iis-web-deploy-and-other-stuff
