Manual copying over will not work correctly because many executables (and 
other files) have your /home/russell/SRC/X11-build now hard-coded in them.

The build.sh argument for your prefix is used for your configure --prefix, 
so run like:

./util/modular/build.sh /usr/local

You may be able to get it to install without root privileges by setting 
DESTDIR in your environment to your own home X11-build then manually copy 
over when ready (but I didn't test that myself).
