Depends on the build system. I use FreeBSD and install everything
through the ports collection. I can type 'make && make install' and
cause the source to be downloaded, patched if necessary, built,
installed and registered as a package. Packages can be easily installed
and uninstalled.

Gentoo really wants to be FreeBSD ports. ;)
