The BSDs have pkg_add et. al. that fuction like apt-get et.al. I
haven't seen anything like aptitude's interactive. Of course the
details differ, but they do have commands that will either download and
install a pre-compiled binary (some call it a package, others a port) or
will download the sources, compile it, and install it with just the one
command.
