You can follow the CMake/Linux tutorial, Our CMake configuration is
for generic Unix, I tested building Blender2.5 on NetBSD a while back.

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Generic_Distro/CMake
The most time consuming process is to get the dependencies, pkgsrc has
all the packages needed IIRC.

After that, rebuilds and updates are easy.
