Installing MIT-K5 client libraries as non-root

Is there a way to install K5 (1.6.2 in particular) for client use without
being superuser? I thought I could do this as long as my userid owns all
the directories into which I'm building and installing (I'm not installing
a KDC). However, now I find that 'make install' wants to run 'ginstall'
with the '-o root' option. Since I'm a non-root user, I'm not going to be
able to chown anything, much less to root.
On this system (Solaris 10), I'm interested only in the K5 libraries (for
our own apps, written to the MIT K5 API) and the client utilities (e.g.,
kinit, kadmin, etc.), not in the supplied apps such as those in
../appl/bsd. Is there, perchance, a configure or make option to specify
that I don't want to install the binaries that are supposed to run as
root, in particular, that I don't want/need to do chowns or setuids?
Thanks.
Mike
