AUCTeX comes with plenty of options for configure.  I think you want to
set `--with-lispdir', `--with-tex-dir' and `--with-doc-dir' to
directories of your choice.  Please check the manaul for more
details[1].  I use AUCTeX directly out of my local git repo and don't
install it at all :-)

Best, Arash
