Ah, I may not have answered your question properly.  The answer is that
you have to have look at the configure script (if present) and Makefile
to see what is happening.  Usually data directories and such are set
relative to the prefix, so that setting the prefix is enough.  But if
you have to set datadir options specifically, make sure to place them
relative to /usr/local/ and not /usr/local/stow/package.
