If I'm understanding the request correctly, not only would it be 
possible, but it's already possible. You do, for example,

make DESTDIR=/tmp/gnuplot install

and under /tmp/gnuplot you find the entire tree that "make install" 
creates. You can probably see where to take things from there, in 
terms of packaging the result.
