I don't understand. I routinely install libxcb using
  make DESTDIR=... install
and it works for me. What are you doing that doesn't work?

Similarly, Debian packages of libX11 are being built with
  $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp install
and that seems to work for them.

Oh, right, Debian installs the build dependencies on the build system
first. I guess you want to do a series of DESTDIR installs without
copying each installed module into the build environment immediately
after it's built?

I wonder if either unionfs or funionfs, perhaps combined with a chroot,
will let you accomplish what you want?
