AS Windows Azure Web Role deployment project is strictly bind to specific Packaging the project the source control you are using must be able to provide mechanism to rake your code, and package + deploy it in an accepted way. Packaging does require dependency on Windows Azure SDK tools for specific language you choose.

Based on your selection of tag C#, it seems you are using Visual Studio and TFS, you sure can create MSBUILD script to automate your build and deploy process which could run outside your development machine however within the limits of TFS. This process is described here.

Also if you could Build Server 2010 with TFS you can create automated build/deploy script as described here which will wrok as well.

Bottom line is you can package your application using SDK and deploy package using REST API so it is very easy to build a custom solution to build and deploy directly from any non TFS source server if you are not using one.

There is a free hosted TFS service from Microsoft that allows you to do automatic builds and deployments of your projects from TFS into Azure whenever check-ins occur in the TFS team project. It is really easy to setup, and takes about 10-15 minutes. It is currently in preview so it is free. I have a blog post and a companion video that walks through this.

The blog post and video are for an "Azure Web Site", but the process is nearly identical for an "Azure Cloud Service" (you mentioned a Web Role).

There is no support for 'Git' Continuous Development (Push) on Cloud Services (Web/Worker Roles), Web Sites only (currently), this blog posts provides some guidance on how to automated things for Web Roles (*note dated SDK): 'Automated Build and Deployment with Windows Azure SDK 1.6' http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tomholl/archive/2011/12/06/automated-build-and-deployment-with-windows-azure-sdk-1-6.aspx
