You can set two environment variables to control the installation directory as 
well as the module search path. Example:

export CHICKEN_INSTALL_REPOSITORY="/path/to/project/eggs"
export CHICKEN_REPOSITORY_PATH="/usr/lib/chicken/11/:/path/to/project/eggs"

If you use bash or comparable as a shell, you could save those settings in a 
project-specific file and source them.

If you install an egg with some dependencies, all those will be pulled in the 
above directory.

As far as I know, there is no streamlined way of tracking dependencies of a 
project, though.
