I think this is similar to Is it possible to have rosdep set-up a ubuntu ppa on your system as part of dependency validation?.

I remember there were rules in the rosdep database that actually did some scary stuff with add-apt-repository and even ran whole bash scripts, but they were removed (which I think was a good thing).

Perhaps @William or @Dirk Thomas can comment on the current state of support for 'alternative' package managers? Would xylem support this?
