You don't want to do that; you're telling GNOME to run out of the depot 
tree, that's where it will look for files, and with multiple packages each 
one will look in its own depot collection for files from any packages.

What you want to do is:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install prefix=/usr/depot/sol8/gnome-libs/1.2.2 # for example

This way, packages look for files under /usr/local, but are installed into 
depot collections.  (You probably want a depot.conf along the lines of

	~delete usr
	usr/local		/

in the collection directory as well.)
