Is it possible to enable repos from other .deb based distros?

I'm also wondering if on an rpm based distro, if one can add repos from
other distros. (ie, say you are using PCLOS, can you add fedora repos?)

These sound like recipes for an extended excursion through dependecy hell.

This is beginning to sound like /The Divine Linux Comedy/:

Part 1, Linux Inferno, in which the narrator mixes repositories;
Part 2, Linux Purgatorio, in which the narrator learns the wisdom of
choosing carefully;
Part 3, Linux Paradiso, in which the narrator has a beatiful Kubuntu system
(and a coffee).

If a program isn't in your distro repo(s), you download and compile
the source, non è vero?

Preferably from the Ubuntu source packages
