./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6
and maybe also add --sysconfdir and other directory options to match
your desired installation.
./configure --help
has more information, the `INSTALL' file even more.
I would warn against overwriting system files though, unless you really
know what you're doing. Modern unices have packaging systems. :-)
Cheers,
