I'm not sure if it helps, but I have a bunch of style files I use that are 
non-tetex standard. The easiest way I've found to manage them while 
updating or re-installing the OS is to keep them in directories on my work 
partition somewhere and then set up symlinks to them in 
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex.

Dont forget to run texhash to update latex's database afterwards! Then its 
just a matter of using the style files as usual.

Cheers.
