Except I think you just use the nix package manager rather than the
full-blown NixOS for that ;-)

An alternative for that is gentoo-prefix:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/

Or, if you just have a few C libraries you want to install as a user,
then GNU Stow can help managing them:

(Any which way you go, of course, you'll probably need to start with
installing the tools you need for it ;-)
