I don't want to troll, but while we are in the area of using packaging
system on non-native platforms, I think NetBSD's pkgsrc [1] must be
presented.  It was designed to be highly portable accross platforms (it
just even runs on Windows as far as I heard).

(I didn't read the whole thread, so maybe someone already presented it.)
