Short answer:
There is a ndp ( none default path ) installation which allows you to
install the compiler on a different target directory AFAIK this must be
done by root. Information about this kind of installation should be
somewhere in the documentation.

Another way would be to extract all bff filesets with restore to a
place of your choice. Could be done by any person with write access to
the target directory
