No, of course ;-)  linkoo was invented for this, see 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Hacking#Linkoo_.26_Limitations for a 
rough description.  It resides in solenv/bin .

Basically - you install your build somehow (be it from an installation set, or 
using ooinstall), and run linkoo over your build tree & the installation set.  
Then when you compile your change, you'll see it immediately after the OOo 
restart.

And talking of ooinstall, OOo can be installed even without making the 
installation set - but it's quite a hacky way.  ooo-build has 'ooinstall' for 
that - see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/ooo-build/bin/ooinstall?view=markup

Unfortunately - it hasn't been up-streamed yet.

Not sure what do you mean?
