It all depends on the package maintainer(s).

If you're not happy with exactly what they've provided, it gets a little more complicated; you'll need to edit the packages (written in Powershell) themselves.

Scott Hanselman has a nice write-up/example here: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IsTheWindowsUserReadyForAptget...

I really like the idea behind Chocolatey, but in the end the time that I spent fiddling with packages minimized any potential time savings.

However, if you're not picky about your software, just need a quick copy of something, or only want to test something out, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.
