Lukas was playing with Mason a bit at ESUG and ran into this same  
issue - given a list of packages, how do you get Mason to load the  
latest versions into an image? Right now there isn't any built-in  
support for that, but it's a pretty straightforward addition. The  
thing to do is write a Product that takes the list and figures out  
what the correct targets are. (Products are a new addition to Mason,  
so there aren't many of them written yet.)

Right now I'm working on a Product that figures out the packages based  
on MC dependencies. If no one beats me to it, I'll do this lastest- 
version-of-the-packages Product next.

BTW, I took a look at Metacello with an eye toward a Mason product  
that loads a Metacello release into an image, but got a bit confused  
as to how to accomplish that without pillaging the internal state of  
Metacello specs. I was hoping to tap your brain one of these days.
