I haven't tried this but why not just configure it with a normal prefix 
like /usr and then make it, then do a

make DESTDIR=/home/misc/ekiga/site-usr install

That should install a whole new tree under your site-usr directory.

On another note, --locatstatedir normally points to var so you might 
need to add that switch if you want to do it the "long way"
