Up to now there wasn't, but it seems that the day is not too far away...
The new package manager which likes to have universal range is named "Smart Package Manager" ( http://zorked.net/smart/doc/README.html ), it tries to use any packed binary on any distro (and largely succeeds). In fact, this thing is the very main reason Mandrake acquired Connectiva- the SPM developer is one of the main Connectiva maintainers.
Likely, Mandriva 2006 AND PClinuxOS 1.0 will use "Smart Package Manager" as default, so your prayers may be fullfilled soon!
