a-ConMan is a set of open source PHP scripts to do that.
Through one interface you can easily set up many sites
even on multiple servers and a-ConMan keeps them updated.
The script used to sell for $350, I think, but the company that
used to make it had internal difficulties and passed on,
releasing the script under the GPL.
It's really a pretty impressive script, around 13,000 lines of code.
It was all that well know known because it required PostsreSQL but
now that I've taken over as the project manager I have it working
with MySQL too and it should work with Oracle, MS-SQL, and SQLite.

I'll still be tw4eaking on the MySQL version a bit for the next
day or two so I haven't released it on the site yet, but you
can email me if you're interested in getting a copy.
The one big disadvantage of it is that it's a pain in the butt
to install. When I took over there was no documentation.
I spent a couple hours today writing documentation
but I'd still suggest a professional install if you aren't a sysadmin.
