If GNU's Autotools were really functional in practice, we wouldn't need package managers… :) Personally, I am using a brute-force methods which is quite effective: before compiling for a package manager, I rename the other sandboxes by appending an "_off" suffix. To automate things and restore the original paths, I started with a simple MacRuby script which evolved in a full GUI [1]: unfortunately, Sansonetti's team is working almost exclusively on RubyMotion these days and the future of MacRuby seems doomed by the deprecation of garbage collection in Mavericks. The only disadvantage that I found in renaming paths is that you have to add both paths to the Privacy panel of the Spotlight preferences, otherwise the indexing demon is constantly restarted and wasting CPU time.
