This is what pkgsrc uses as a interoperable solution (afaik there are some
pkgsrc peoples here within macports) BUT including a clean software management
allowing clean installs, deinstall, rolling updates, feature management etc.
(as macport does on Mac only).
If the "stable" stuff in pkgsrc is "to old" you may take an additional look at
pkgsrc-wip where you find work in progress ports.
http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net/
If you want software not existing in pkgsrc you may add it byself as under
maports too.
A simple example on using / installing pkgsrc i.e. on CentOS:

or Debian:

cheers,
Niels.
