Comment(by hamish):

 when 'make install' (or packaging install rules) copies Platform.make to
 $(PREFIX)/grass-6.4.0/include/Make, it could replace GRASS_HOME and
 RUN_GISBASE with ${INST_DIR}.

 right now the Makefile's `install:` just does:
 {{{
 -cd ${GISBASE} ; tar cBf - include | (cd ${INST_DIR} ; tar xBf - )
 2>/dev/null
 }}}

 there are some sed commands on the following lines for the font and
 monitorcap files which may serve as examples.

 e.g. after the install by tar:
 {{{
   -sed -i -e "s#^\(GRASS_HOME.[^=]*\).*#\1= ${INST_DIR}#" \
           -e "s#^\(RUN_GISBASE.[^=]*\).*#\1= ${INST_DIR}#" \
       ${INST_DIR}/include/Make/Platform.make
 }}}

 I guess for WinGrass the $INST_DIR wants to be "quoted"?
