Yes, it's possible (see INSTALL file):

"COMPILING INDIVIDUAL MODULES - OWN MODULES

 Compiling own GRASS 5.7 modules or modified modules:
 Simply run "make" in the appropriate directory
 and then install with "INST_NOW=y make".
 It is not necessary to install the full distribution.
 You may want to make an alias: alias gmake='INST_NOW=y make'
"
