Norman,

Have you tried the --datadir option for the PROJ.4 configure?  I am not
sure if it works, but I think it might.  I have created a 1.2.0 release
blocking bug to make the --datadir option work with the GDAL configure.

   http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501

Note, that you can just edit GDALmake.opt and change INST_DATA before
starting your build.  But I realize many people seem to want to do everything
from the configure commandline.

Best regards,
