Have a look at the link I provided above: there is an easy method to put everything "somewhere else"; you 
just have to do it step by step, so each component looks for its dependencies "somewhere else" first and then 
in the standard places.

When I compiled the first 2.7 versions on Fedora 15, I had to compile GTK+, GLib, and lots of dependencies 
more; everything went smoothly to /opt/gimp-2.7.
