Yes.

For some reason the main tinyos-2.1.1 release code installs into
/opt/tinyos-2.1.1, I assume with the uid/gid of 1001,1001.

It should actually be a debian source package (not sure how Redhat does
source packages, it has been quite a while since I've had a Redhat/Fedora
system) which would install in a more reasonable place with more reasonable
permissions.

Bottom line, yes it is safe to change the uid/gid of the source files.
There is nothing in the build process that requires anything special from
the permissions.
