`bin_PROGRAMS = foo' installs foo in `${bindir}'.
`barexec_PROGRAMS = baz' installs baz in `${barexecdir}'.
If you need more directories you can invent them, just defines
as many *dir variables as you need (in Makefile.am or using
AC_SUBST in configure.ac).

One possibility among many variations:
bin_PROGRAMS = abc
usrbinexecdir = $(exec_prefix)/usr/bin
usrbinexec_PROGRAMS = xyz
This is assuming $(exec_prefix) gets empty in some way, so abc
installs in /bin as it seems you want.
Using $(exec_prefix) to defines $(usrbinexecdir) makes sure the
user still gets the expected result with `make prefix=/tmpdir
install'. Using `exec' in the name of the `usrbinexecdir' variable
ensures `xyz' will be installed by `install-exec', not `install-data'.
