That's what I do as well.  For complex software (e.g., WordPress, 
Drupal, mailing list managers), I always end up downloading the latest 
tarball, unpacking it, and then ./config; make; make test; make 
install.  It all just works so much better than relying on out-of-date 
packages.

If I want to get ambitious, and keep track of things via the package 
manager, I use checkinstall.
