I also installed X11R3 under someplace other than the "recommended" area.  There
are a lot more things you have to change other than DESTDIR.  I had to go in and
patch most of the few man pages, some source code (I don't remember which, my
note book is at the office, and I am on vacation this week), and God help you
when you start with the contributed stuff.

Sure, it will "install" into a directory other than /usr/{bin,lib}/X11, but that
doesn't mean that it is installed correctly.
