For Lesstif, you can always install outside of usr/local by compiling  
from the source code.  It's been some time since I've used OpenMotif,  
but it was also possible to install it outside of /usr/local when  
compiling from the source code.  With OpenMotif 2.1.30, you could  
install it in another location by modifying config/cf/site.def to  
change the ProjectRoot and VirtualBindingsPath definitions before  
building the software.  With OpenMotif 2.2.3, you could do that by  
running the autogen.sh script in the source code directory,

     ./autogen.sh --prefix=your_preferred_directory

before building the software with

     make install
