The only way to do this right now is with sage-on-gentoo [0], which works easily only if you happen to use Gentoo Linux. Otherwise you would have to get a Gentoo Prefix [1] up and running, and then add sage-on-gentoo to that. Installing Prefix can be pretty hairy -- most Prefix users switch to Gentoo eventually so demand is always low. But still, it's faster to build an entire prefix system from scratch and then build sage-on-gentoo twice than it is to build sage twice using the official process.
