Here is what I do to compile and try mythtv on the same machine that
run my production server, so yes, like you I don't want to mess up my
production install.
I compile mythtv like so:
./configure --prefix=/home/jyavenard/build --compile-type=debug
I do make && make install as usual
To run it:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jyavenard/build/lib
/home/jyavenard/build/bin/mythfrontend
