Yeah, the fragmenting, customization, etc., makes a lot of distro trees incompatible, unless you're willing to put in a LOT of work. I learned it the hard way when I tried to stick the latest stock kernel into an installed Suse distro several years ago. The list of errors I got was quite long. The thing is to pick one popular tree (like Debian or Debian-based), so that updates to the base distro can be also be applied to your derived distro. If you're more of a hacker type you can try a less popular tree, like Arch. In a way, BSD can be thought of as a single Linux distro tree.
