Yes.

datarootdir is a new variable added in autoconf 2.60:
— Variable: datadir
The directory for installing idiosyncratic read-only
architecture-independent data.
— Variable: datarootdir
The root of the directory tree for read-only
architecture-independent data files.
I've yet to discover what the motivation/advantage of the new
variable is, but since we use autoconf 2.6x when creating source
tarballs, we need to support datarootdir...
