That's a good way to go, usually, yes --- 'configure' scripts do have a reason they were invented for, see? Adapting directory layout to the local customs of an installation is one of them. Except for the chicken-and-egg problem, that is, if the program to be built is the shell itself: what 'sh' should the user call to build 'sh'? But as your current build setup already requires 'sh', that's not making anyhting worse, in this case.
