Yep, that's exactly how it's done (+/- config options).

To build a source tarball, just configure as usual and then type "make
dist". You can check if the tarball works correctly by running "make
check-dist" afterwards.
Building a binary tarball isn't supported by the build system, but it's
not much harder either. Install the program in a temporary directory,
and then tar it up:
autoconf
./configure <options-as-you-need-them>
make
mkdir /tmp/dvbcut-install
sudo make install DESTDIR=/tmp/dvbcut-install
tar cvfz dvbcut.tar.gz -C /tmp/dvbcut-install .
Note the dot at the end of the last command!
The trick is to specify a pseudo-root for the installation, using the
DESTDIR variable. Becoming root for installing isn't actually required,
but it makes sure that the installed files are owned by root (and are
tar'd up that way). Alternatively, you can omit sudo and add the options
--numeric-owner --owner=0 --group=0 to the tar command line, as I do it
in the `make dist' target (see makefile.in).
Of course, all this only works with GNU tar.
