Change the package manager to install everything under one directory.
For example if I were to install Postgres on my system it would create a
directory /programs/postgres82/ and put the program there.
I think the easiest way to achieve that for the widest variety of packages
is to build from source into a separate target directory.
Another option is OpenPKG, which allows relocatable installations of
packages:
http://www.openpkg.org/product/packages/?package=postgresql
It of course has dependencies, but they're all self-contained in their
system.
