Yeah, six flavors of ickyness for that.

That's a 0.9.5 version; I don't know if it matters. It turns out to be stupid 
simple to install mercurial from source, to the point of:

wget http://www.selenic.com/mercurial-stable-snapshot.tar.gz
gtar xzf mercurial-stable-snapshot.tar.gz
# Weird, but you want to end up in the right directory
cd mercurial-*/tests/..
make install-home

The only issue is the cbe's env.sh kills my PATH and PYTHONPATH, but that is 
easily worked around.

I have been reading more documentation (Fedor, don't laugh) and pkgtool 
actually does a lot more than I thought, which leads to all kinds of 
simplifications in the build system. In the kde4-specs-dev repo you'll find 
that things build smoother and easier now.
