That's fine - exactly what you should do if you're installing them with
"configure && make && make install" as opposed to packaging them first
via a build script or otherwise.

Again though, I have to reiterate -- DO NOT restore /usr/local from one
Slackware version onto another version. 

Also, you mentioned a freetype or fontconfig (I don't recall
which) version in one of your /usr/local directories in another mail;
that should not be happening, as both of those are included with
Slackware.
