Use --prefix option to change directory to install. 

like this:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --with-icondir=$HOME/local/icons

This would show you directories to install like this:

checking prefix for /usr/bin/emacs... /home/naota/local
checking where lisp files should go... $(datadir)/emacs/site-lisp/w3m/
checking where icon files should go... /home/naota/local/icons

Also ./configure --help would help.
