you can do something like this in your ~/.nuke/init.py
import os
import nuke
path = os.path.expanduser('~/.nuke')
nuke.pluginAddPath(path+'/plugins/'+str(nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MAJOR)+str(nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MINOR))
nuke.pluginAddPath(path+'/gizmos')
nuke.pluginAddPath(path+'/python') #for generic python scripts
nuke.pluginAddPath(path+'/python/'+str(nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MAJOR)+str(nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MINOR))
#for version specific scripts
then you make the directories ~/plugins/62 ~/plugins/63, etc.
If you need to be platform aware (windows, OSX, Linux) this should be
factored in too probably using the python platform module or similar.
It would be nice if something similar was built in by the Foundry,
