Create $HOME/texmf. Download justtex.zip, and cont-tmf.zip, cont-fnt.zip from pragma's website, and unzip them inside $HOME/texmf. Download the font files from TeX Gyre and unzip then in $HOME/texmf.
Do I need to set the TEXMFHOME environment variable? Also: will downloading linuxtex.zip to the same place give me up-to-date luatex, or will it just mess up my installation?
Remake the formats, move the stubs and few programs to the path, and you are done.
Is there a command to remake the pdftex and xetex formats together? Rather than moving programs, might it be easier to add ~/texmf/<whatever>/bin to the PATH?
The only drawback of this is that you have to update manually. ctxtools --updatecontext unzip the file in TEXMFLOCAL, and not TEXMFHOME, so it does not work with this setup.
Hmm... will the rsync update work, or do I need to download the zips? Thanks for the suggestion; I'll report back on what works. --Joel
