Here is something which can be done  http://bit.ly/IfzU0 using Yum , i am
sure there must be similar  option in apt-get too , you can incorporate
these command in a script and once you have downloaded , run install command
from a script .

also you can try wget to download the package then give install commands in
a script , but in this case you will have to take of all the dependencies
yourself .

i do not know why you want to do this ? there are distibutions like Gentoo
where packages are always built from the sources all the time.
