No. Reading the Makefile it is clear that MM_DIR is relative to $PREFIX
The default setting in the Makefile is
MM_DIR?= mailman
And later on there is a
MAILMANDIR= ${PREFIX}/${MM_DIR}
With MAILMANDIR being the absolute install directory.

Mailman (under normal defaults) installs in various directories under
/usr/local/mailman
The python for all of the CGIs lives in
/usr/local/mailman/Mailman
and the programs that an administrator might run on the command line
live in
/usr/local/mailmain/bin
And there are various other directories for queues and logs and data
and per list configurations and such
I want to have instances installed in
/usr/local/mailman/vhosts/site1
/usr/local/mailman/vhosts/site2
/usr/local/mailman/vhosts/site3
Cheers,
-j
