   I've been thinking about packaging seriously for the last few days and
   the more I think about it, the more I think we should just port Debian's
   apt-get, enforce a multi-installed-version capability (e.g. for libraries),
   and then focus on bringing patches into that framework.


what exactly is so good about apt-get ?
Anyways here is a first version:

IMO ports is so much above apt they shall copy it not vice versa.
I concur with you. The most fashionable Linux distro at present among 
geeks is Gentoo which has copied the BSD ports system. Look at the 
problems one gets with portupgrade, exactly the same are to be found 
with apt-get.
