Using Cabal directly, I can simply run the configure/build/install process three times with different configuration options.

Is this possible with systems like RPM/apt/port/etc?

Yes. In the case of RPM and dpkg, we prefix a library's name with the name and version of the compiler name against which it's built. This means that you can have hugs20051030-binary, ghc661-binary, and so on all installed at once without a problem.
