I am a big LaTeX user as well and I use LFS and BLFS exclusively on my machines. Anyway I did not self recompile TeXLive and used the installation process provided by the TeXLive CD. (BTW you do not need to burn the CD but only mount the iso image.) If the question is to control where the different components of TeXLive are placed the installation tool is very well designed and you never loos control on it. I personnally wonder if there is a good reason to recompile all this stuff except if you have a very particular system on which you can expect particularly good optimizations.
