You might have a look at how Free and Open BSD do things with their ports system. It doesnt seem that attractive as a package management system (try installing Xemacs over a 28.8 on a 486;-), but it is done quite well, and with standard unix tools. It has provisions for dependencies and the like as well. I would like to look at their binary package tool as well, but it dumps core on my 2.2-RELEASE Fbsd...
