Is there a Maven alternative or port for the .NET world?

I would love to use a good dependency management system that the Java world has, but I don't find anything comparable for .NET projects...

NMaven has been the first/official effort to provide Apache Maven for .NET; the project failed to clear the high bar of requirements for an official Apache project and was retired from the Apache Incubator in November 2008. There have been several efforts to fork and survive the project, but only one of them (NPanday) managed to do so and has been able to rejoin the Apache Incubator in August 2010. Sadly also the NPanday project was retired in January 2015 because it is lacking active committers.
