This is what our pkgbuild infrastructure does:

  https://github.com/joyent/pkgsrc/wiki/pkgdev:setup
  https://github.com/joyent/pkgbuild/

It sets up an identical build environment to what we use, and will
pull binary packages from our repository for dependencies (with a
node.js proxy running in the background to store them locally for
subsequent builds).
