No. This is not the same. DESTDIR is _only_ for installation
in different directory than default. These (DESTDIR and prefix)
are different things. You can have 
configure --prefix=/blabla1/ --includedir=/otherblabla2/ \
          --libdir=/blabla3/ and so on and these paths
are used at compilation time, too.

With DESTDIR you only do:
make install DESTDIR=/here/is/some/strange/location.

ps. DESTDIR is default thing in automake generated makefiles.
