/opt/<package> is in FHS for the entire content packages that are not part of the distro, except host-specific configuration data which goes into /etc/opt/<package>.

Hehe ;-). I would seriously consider though, replacing autoconf for something simpler; there are other build systems out there but I didn't look at any yet.
