I don't like package methods since I can't import them.

I can simply import
Getopt::Long::Framework::getOpt
with
*getOpt = \&Getopt::Long::Framework::getOpt
(or even more simply through use)

But to import
Getopt::Long::Framework->getOpt
I need to create the wrapper
sub getOpt { Getopt::Long::Framework->getOpt(@_) }

You suggest using inheritance (use base ...), but I hate inherting where there isn't an is-a relationship.

It doesn't seem to be needed here. If I understand correctly, you want to allow multiple modules to specify options they accept. Wouldn't the following be sufficient? 

# Module1
Getopt::Long::Framework::accept(...);
.
:
# Module2
Getopt::Long::Framework::accept(...);
.
:
# Module3
Getopt::Long::Framework::accept(...);
.
:
# First call to getOpt processes @ARGV.
$val = Getopt::Long::Framework::getOpt(...);

or even something like 
# Module1
use Getopt::Long::Framework accept => ...;
.
:
# Module2
use Getopt::Long::Framework accept => ...;
.
:
# Module3
use Getopt::Long::Framework accept => ...;
.
:
# First call to getOpt processes @ARGV.
$val = Getopt::Long::Framework::getOpt(...);
