How about stow? I'm using it for all my local Solaris builds, and the
only package that was not sufficiently stow-aware (that I remember) is
teTeX. teTeX makes considerable effort to keep itself in one directory
anyway, so it's not a big issue.
Stow is old, but it's Perl, and works fine for me. Documentation even
includes bootstrapping instructions for using stow to manage both
itself and perl.

Description: Organiser for /usr/local/ hierarchy
GNU Stow helps the system administrator organise files under /usr/local/
by allowing each piece of software to be installed in its own tree under
/usr/local/stow/, and then using symlinks to create the illusion that
all the software is installed in the same place.
