I think the Makefile already supports DESTDIR; try using:
make install \
DESTDIR=%{buildroot} \
bindir=%{_bindir} \
helpdir=%{_datadir}/%{name} \

OK, thanks guys.
I hadn't noticed the DESTDIR capability. I was reading
the ./configure --help, which mentions:
Where does DESTDIR definition come from ?
Where is it normally documented ?
It's fairly standard these days and comes "for free" with autotools
Not quite. It comes "for free" with automake-based packages, as part of
automake generated Makefile.ins.
This package however only applies autoconf and manually written
Makefile.ins - I.e. somebody must have explictly implemented DESTDIR
into the Makefile.ins.
