CMake has worked this way since early March.

Added a note here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/CMake#Building_Blender

The default is a portable install because blender.org builds work this
way and because its most useful for testing, development & uploading
for others to use.
