(But I agree, it's much better than automake :-) E.g. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --mandir=$HOME/usr/share/man is supported by the configure script, but the manpages are installed in $HOME/usr/man all the same. BTW: Even if I specify mandir=... in config.mak, it is not respected, because only the toplevel Makefile includes config.mak. (I didn't test it, but I think I could export mandir in config.mak ...)
