Yes. The same applies to everything --- JDK path, Ant path, Maven path, 
etc. So it really needs a bit of generalization. Doing it without 
cluttering the UI would be a challenge though.

The other thing is that once you have a certain number of slaves, it no 
longer makes much sense to have individual slaves so different, because 
it would be harder to maintain. You typically ends up making slaves 
fairly uniform. At least that's what I do.

So that's probably why I didn't need this feature so far.

For now, I recommend you configure each slaves with symlinks to their 
actual tools. like,

/export/home/hudson/bin
   cvs -> /usr/local/bin/cvs
   svn -> /bin/svn
   ...

etc.
