I'm not sure what you're asking.

If you have installed pre-compiled binaries of GNU Radio, then you
have full access to the Python and C++ APIs, as well as the examples
and utility programs supplied.  You can develop your own C++ blocks,
write your own C++ and Python applications, etc.  Furthermore, to
upgrade to newer versions of GNU Radio when they are released, you can
use your package manager to upgrade.

Only if you want to modify GNU Radio itself, then yes, you'd have to
uninstall the binary packages and perform a manual source code
install.
