Yes. First, since you didn't use --prefix, the default of /usr/local
is used. Next, since you didn't specify --libexecdir, the default of
${prefix}/libexec is used. Hence ${libexecdir}/at-spi-registryd is
/usr/local/libexec/at-spi-registryd.

I'll try to send you a patch a little later today so you can specify
--at-spi-dir=/usr/lib/at-spi. If you know that autotools, it's a
pretty trivial change.
