How about stow? I'm using it for all my local Solaris builds, and the only package that was not sufficiently stow-aware (that I remember) is teTeX. teTeX makes considerable effort to keep itself in one directory anyway, so it's not a big issue. Stow is old, but it's Perl, and works fine for me. Documentation even includes bootstrapping instructions for using stow to manage both itself and perl.
