if you are asking how to _properly_ install a package without root
priviliges, then i believe that this is impossible, given that the very
nature of "properly" installing a package means writing to parts of the
disk where unproviliged users are not allowed to write to. that's by
design.
Then what do you think that the --root option allows to do ?
anyhow, in my personal experience not many packages will actually
execute any scripts in the pre-/postinstall process; e.g. of the 3600
packages installed on my system, only 1800 come with a postinst script.
of those, at least 900 are virtually the same and only call "ldconfig"
(after installing a library).
The other 900 are still 25 % of them... quite significant.
