 Gentoo is about the closest you'll get. Its package management system is called "portage".  It downloads the source for each package, then compiles it with your custom compile flags.

Often times people call it "Linux for ricers" ( "ricers, being a somewhat racist, derogatory term for people that soup up their cars, often of Japanese make)

I run Gentoo on my dev box, which is also the machine that hosts my dialup line (which then forwards to my BBS server).
