While blastwave does it, I can't use blastwave as a part of some

Exactly. Say I want PHP to run with the bundled Apache. Blastwave
won't do this, unlike Fink, for example.
why the heck would you want to do that, though?
Say because of having an existing set of configuration against the
bundled Apache and just wanting to add PHP, not starting again
configuring everything else from scratch with the Blastwave version. In
principle most of the config might copy across, but that's not the point.
Last time this was discussed, I think others raised the question of
compiling a package against the bundled GTK libraries as well as some
add-on.
