Check out FreeBSD ports; basically a set of simple make files like:

ls /usr/ports/wwww/mod_*

mod_access_identd       mod_backhand            mod_fastcgi             
mod_mysqluserdir        mod_sed
mod_access_referer      mod_bf                  mod_frontpage           mod_pcgi2      
         mod_sequester
mod_auth_any            mod_blowchunks          mod_gzip                mod_perl       
         mod_snake
mod_auth_external       mod_cgi_debug           mod_hosts_access        mod_php3       
         mod_sqlinclude
mod_auth_kerb           mod_color               mod_index_rss           mod_php4       
         mod_throttle
mod_auth_mysql          mod_csacek              mod_jk                  
mod_proxy_add_forward   mod_ticket
mod_auth_mysql_another  mod_cvs                 mod_layout              mod_put        
         mod_trigger
mod_auth_pam            mod_dav                 mod_log_mysql           mod_python     
         mod_tsunami
mod_auth_pgsql          mod_dtcl                mod_mp3                 mod_roaming    
         mod_watch
mod_auth_pwcheck        mod_extract_forwarded   mod_mylo                mod_ruby       
         mod_zap

And each then has a makefile:

# New ports collection makefile for:    mod_mp3
# Date created:                         7 April 2001

all you do is cd into the directory and do a make, make install.

If you look at 'fink' you see a more cross-platform sort of approach. Both
work well.
