As already pointed out, these pages:

Debian: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian
RHEL derivitaves: https://www.torproject.org/docs/rpms.html.en

let you use Torprojects own packages for your distribution. Some
distributions like Gentoo provide recent packages.

There is also the source available here:

https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en

Just ignore the Browser bundle bullshit, that's for stupid Windows
users and pointless on *nix systems.

If you really want to always use the latest version then you can 

git clone git://git.torproject.org/git/tor

and make a cron job which does git pull in the newly created directory
and compiles.
