Yes, this is the place.

If I understand correctly, it seems to be this part of the
xffm/docs/Makefile.am:

install-data-local:
	( cd $(datadir)/xffm; \
	  rm -f doc; $(LN_S) ../xfce4/doc doc; \
	)

This seems to get hardcoded to whatever is set in the --prefix option
used when you run the configure script. I suppose you can specify a
non-root target spot. But this also means that $prefix/lib should be in
the ld path, otherwise the libraries will not be found. There are
similar symbolic link creations in xffm/src directory. HTH.
