I think it will suffice offering an option to hide the paths from
the other package managers before the compilation phase, in order
to avoid the configure script to pick up the wrong commands and
libraries.

In the second of the following screenshots

I wrapped the installation command with
 
install_cmd = "sudo mv /opt/local /opt/local_off ; " + install_cmd + " ; sudo mv /opt/local_off /opt/local"

and Homebrew doesn't emit its warning.
