Not really.
I'm having my own battle with 'make distcheck', with regard to the
recently added X-Resources file.  I've put lines in .../share/Makefile.am

   install-data-local:
	$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(XRESOURCEPATH)
        if test -d $(DESTDIR)$(XRESOURCEPATH) && test -w $(DESTDIR)$(XRESOU=
RCEPATH); then \
          $(INSTALL_DATA) Gnuplot.app-defaults $(DESTDIR)$(XRESOURCEPATH)/G=
nuplot \
        ; fi

However, this doesn't work during 'make distcheck' becuase $(DESTDIR) is
not being expanded.  Why not?  It seems to expand correctly for the similar
lines in .../term/Makefile.am

   install-data-local:
        $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(GNUPLOT_PS_DIR)
        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/PostScript/*.ps $(DESTDIR)$(GNUPLOT_PS_DI=
R)

Why does the latter get expanded to
=09
   /bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /home/merritt/cvs/gnuplot-cvs/gnuplot-4.1.0/=
_inst/share/gnuplot/4.1/PostScript

While the former gets expanded to

   /bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
