Wouldn't it be easier to just choose one base distribution? A distro mostly using generic upstream stable packages with minimal patching. And then that same distro using the latest unstable git/svn/etc packages meant for testing (mesa/ffmpeg/etc). In this case it also might be prudent to choose a minimal window manager/DE so as to not skew results.
Having those base stable and unstable benchmarks, you could then specifically test other DEs/distributions which apply heavy customizations so as to ascertain performance hits/improvements from such customizations.

Some distros make it easier to install individual pieces of bleeding-edge software while keeping the existing stable base for everything else by offering packages for this software. Some distros have better support for the range of software and configurations tested at Phoronix than others. Some distros make it easier to quickly test multiple different software configurations.
