That's correct. Unless you install it somewhere that your user can
write to (such as your home directory) you'll need root privileges to
install.

Install one of the available udev scripts found in the udev/ directory
of the source. For Ubuntu, you'll probably want to copy the
10-blackberry.rules.Debian file to /etc/udev/rules and remove the
Debian extension. Also remember to edit it so that the path to bcharge
is correct for your installation.
Note that if you have the proper debian helper packages installed, you
can create your own .deb file from the CVS sources by running the following
command from inside the barry directory:
fakeroot -- debian/rules binary
Then install as usual with dpkg, etc.
This might be a better option for you.
