Ok, I've been having similar problems (I maintain the local copy of
mutt, but don't have root; I need to use a special program "cscp" to
copy files into the public hierarchy), so I configured with
"--prefix=./subdir". When I make install, I get a bunch of errors:
> [...]

It starts off nice, dealing with ./subdir/man, but then decides it needs
access to /usr/local/doc/mutt, which I don't have. I'd fix this in the
configure script, but autoconf is still a mysterious black box to me.
To be honest, the main thing I'm looking to do here is figure out how to
tell it where the po files are, which apparently is done during a
(successful) make install.
Ah, and system info: I'm on Solaris 2.7 running on an Ultra 10; I'm
using whatever the local version of 'make' is, but gmake gives
essentially the same error (can't create /usr/local/doc). And for the
record, my configure line was:
configure --enable-pop --enable-buffy-size --with-sharedir="/cs/share/mutt"
--with-included-gettext --prefix="./subdir"
