You can control where ns components are installed by providing a
--prefix=/your/directory argument to configure.

But it's not really necessary to install otcl and tclcl...
ns can use them out of the source directories.
(Although you may have to tell ns where they are with the
--with-otcl=/path/to/otcl arguments to configure).
