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.
