Have you ever looked at source-based package management systems like
FreeBSD's ports system or NetBSD's pkgsrc? I think something like
this would be suited very well for installing Emacs packages. They
basically download the source code from the original site, patch it if
necessary and call commands for building it, e.g. `configure', `make'
and `make install'. Thus, an installation like the one of AUCTeX
would not be a problem. In fact, FreeBSD's port for AUCTeX is
ridiculously simple.
