While looking for something else, I found Manfrotto makes a leveling
adapter that appears to go between the tripod center column and
whatever
head you mount.

I have one of these:

Manfrotto compact ball levelling head (438)
meant for video but I can see it would work very well for stills, and
has a spirit level built in.

Acratech has a similar leveling base. About twice the price but
definitely worth it if you're doing panos: lighter, more precise, more
range of motion, better level, etc.
I wouldn't buy a ballhead that does not have an independent pan base/
lock. It solves a lot of these positioning issues.
