Yep, there's quite good one in gentoo itself.

Basically, you'll need to write a short config for it, consisting of
lines like "cruft name", "cruft src uri" and a few more lines if you'll
need to pass some extra parameters to configure/make/install.
It'll build the package in a sandbox, then transfer it to destination,
memorizing every change it did and preventing collisions and config
overwrites.

Just put that config script into an ebuild file and use portage to
build it - as simple as it gets ;)
