What I've started doing is to install the compiler on a disk image.
That way, I can archive old compilers and bring them back out if I need
to make a quick fix to an older product. I can also mount just the
compiler I need. That way I can still double click on a project (once
the volume is mounted), and it does the right thing. And, if you don't
need to use flex (lex) or bison (yacc), you can use a compressed disk
image, and your 600 Meg install only takes up about 200 Megs. 

Unfortunately, flex and bison need to write to a directory within the
Metrowerks folder hierarchy, so projects which rely on those tools
won't work with a compressed (read only) disk image.

The only other problem this has presented is that if I use an
uncompressed disk image, even without using flex or bison, then
Retrospect backs it up again on the next incremental backup. Kind of a
pain, but not too big of a deal.

Oh, and you need to make sure the correct MetroNub is installed when
running each compiler.
