So in the *next* version of zc.recipe.egg (i.e. >1.0.0), the following 
will probably work. It works with the trunk of zc.recipe.egg (but this 
is neither released nor has it been reviewed by Jim Fulton, yet):


[libxml2]
recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
url = http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libxml2/2.6/libxml2-2.6.30.tar.gz
extra_options = --without-python

[libxslt]
recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
url = http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libxslt/1.1/libxslt-1.1.22.tar.bz2
extra_options = --with-libxml-prefix=${buildout:directory}/parts/libxml2/
                --without-python


[lxml-environment]
PATH=${buildout:directory}/parts/libxslt/bin:%(PATH)s

[lxml]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg:custom
egg = lxml
include-dirs = ${buildout:directory}/parts/libxml2/include/libxml2
               ${buildout:directory}/parts/libxslt/include
library-dirs = ${buildout:directory}/parts/libxml2/lib
               ${buildout:directory}/parts/libxslt/lib
rpath = ${buildout:directory}/parts/libxml2/lib
        ${buildout:directory}/parts/libxslt/lib
environment = lxml-environment
