Yes, that's functionally equivalent. The default prefix value (if no
switch is provided) is
${SIPX_INSTALLDIR:-/usr/local/sipx}
(that is, the value of the environment variable, and /usr/local/sipx if
the variable is not set). So your method uses a different variable and
then explicitly overrides the default from the command line. More steps
your way, but the same effect.

The installation of the apache configuration files fails. It's possible
that you've worked around that in a different way (possibly without
realizing it), or that some part of the writing of these files has
changed and I failed to notice that my workarounds are no longer needed
(I only need to do it once per system setup, which is pretty
infrequent).
