If you have shell access you can have a "one typo source for several 
typo3 installations" on any Linux server with any control panel.

It's all about symlinks which are generally created from the command 
line or by extracting the tar.gz package, the latter of which puts the 
symlinks already in place.

Step by step guides are available in the WIKI or in the INSTALL file of 
the source distribution.

It might be possible to use a PHP shell to extract a tar file and 
thereby create the symlinks, but I'm not sure if this works.

With regard to "security breach" you will have to set the open_basedir 
directive in your apache configuration to allow all typo3 instances to 
access the single source via symlink.

With Confixx it is possible to set open_basedir directives on a virtual 
host basis and although I've never used Plesk, I'm almost sure that this 
is possible as well.

Hope this helps,
