Yes that's possible, you can specify the install directory when using 
configure:

./configure --prefix=$HOME --program-suffix=-4.6.0
make
make install

The prefix specifies the path in which gnuplot is installed. With 
"--prefix=$HOME" the executable file will be in $HOME/bin, so you could 
add this to your $PATH. Some distributions do this as default, type 
"echo $PATH" to check this. If $HOME/bin is not in your PATH, add 
"PATH="$HOME/bin":$PATH to your .bashrc.
Note: Some people like to use an extra directory like $HOME/usr to keep 
things clean.

The "program-suffix" is appended to the bin file. If you use "-4.6.0" as 
a suffix, the executable file is named "gnuplot-4.6.0". So you can still 
call the normal gnuplot with the command "gnuplot".

For more information use ./configure --help
