There's a few options I think.

A Python solution that was developed for my university library is available at 
http://www.infrae.com/download/oaipmh

PKP offers a PHP solution at http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=harvester

I currently have the stock DSpace serving public OAI-PMH and use a modified 
PKP one for some specialised harvest offerings for national projects. The 
oaipmh stuff is what we will move towards (already in use on some of our other 
systems)

Hope I understood your question and aim well enough and apologies for not 
responding sooner (had too many deadlines to catch).
