Of the options already cited:

1) Just use Backtrack in a VM - easiest, but some of the packages are relatively broken as of now and some of the packages are way out of date

2) Compile everything from source - Yes, really. This is easier than troubleshooting all the SNAFUs from adding the BT repositories.

3) Debianize everything properly to build against current Ubuntu - constant work in progress and not a lot of community around it.

4) Add the Backtrack repositories - worst option. Seems like the best option out of the gate, but you WILL have problems and lots of them.
