Not easily in that spot, I think.

The install script always needs a target directory. And pg_config_paths is
always set to:
print $o <<EOF;
#define PGBINDIR "/bin"
#define PGSHAREDIR "/share"
#define SYSCONFDIR "/etc"
#define INCLUDEDIR "/include"
#define PKGINCLUDEDIR "/include"
#define INCLUDEDIRSERVER "/include/server"
#define LIBDIR "/lib"
#define PKGLIBDIR "/lib"
#define LOCALEDIR "/share/locale"
#define DOCDIR "/doc"
#define HTMLDIR "/doc"
#define MANDIR "/man"
EOF

Greetings,
