Do you know PKGSRC? http://www.pkgsrc.org/

pkgsrc currently has support for the following platforms:

    * NetBSD (of course!)
    * Darwin (Mac OS X)
    * FreeBSD
    * IRIX
    * Linux
    * OpenBSD
    * Solaris

I think it should be possible to use this.
Some GNUstep packages are already in.
