No, localedir is explicitly defined in the GNU Coding Standards. See
make-stds.texi:
@item localedir
The directory for installing locale-specific message catalogs for this
package. By default, it should be @file{/usr/local/share/locale}, but
it should be written as @file{$(datarootdir)/locale}. (If you are
using Autoconf, write it as @samp{@@localedir@@}.) This directory
usually has a subdirectory per locale.
