Debian?  At some stage Debian was the primary development platform as Isaac
Richards was using this.  Since then it has probably changed but there was
great support.  I had not used Debian at all before this but found that apt
was a great tool, this would resolve all of your installation dependency
issues.  I liked it so much that I still use it on FC2.

Usually I found if I wanted to use the latest CVS version, the easiest way
from a fresh install was to 'apt-get install mythtv-suite' which would give
me the latest rpm install of all the required programs and their
dependencies.  I could then 'apt-get remove mythtv-suite' to just delete the
mythtv applications and then checkout the latest CVS to play around with.

These days with so many machines, I just use the latest rpm install, I'm in
no rush for the latest and greatest :)
