Each package needs a different --with-prefix option.  That's the least 
risky way to do it.  You can settle any conflicts with your $PATH, and you 
can even try differernt gcc's with different binutil's that way.  Though 
doing
--with-prefix=/opt/gnu/gcc-2.95.3
--with-prefix=/opt/gnu/binutils-2.15
...

wouldn't be a bad idea, so you can just tar up /opt/gnu.
