Hardcore:
$ yaourt -S "package"
When asked to edit the PKGBUILD in my experience, it's usually ok to
reply with "no".
Using FreeBSD and compiling from a FreeBSD port is much more
complicated, OTOH, using yaourt for Arch Linux is disputed ;).

I have used Linux since the Yggdrasil days where you had to compile
everything from scratch. Now, even in the AUR compilation is a simple
process requiring no technical knowledge on the part of the user to
build and install packages, save a couple of commands to be entered in
the shell. Installing Linux software from source has more or
less vanished as
part of the work flow for non-technical users, and even for majority
of what technical users do.
Paul is right, but there anyway is a "halfway house", Arch Linux does
provide the Arch User Repository.
