garnome - http://cipherfunk.org/garnome/

I've used that one... You better have some spare gigs :-) All the
tarballs ,extracted tarballs (sources), build files (tmp, cache...) and
finally the real apps... Great utility as it get (download) and build
all it need on the fly. Kinda like -emerge system. Im loving it! It also
allow you to build GNOME-2.8 AND KEEP the actual installed one. They can
co-exist :-) Make sure you go through 'gar.conf.mk' file (Sought in
garnome's directory). There is a couple options you may tune (i.e.: the
target destination directory. It default to $(home), i've used /opt or,
say, a "build clean" switch.

Have fun!

NOTE: KDE have that too, its called 'konstruct'. I've been running it
since like 5 days but I hit a compile error on 'gwenview'. Damnit! FIVE
days! ;)
