With a relocatable package, you can.
Unfortunately packages that are relocatable still try to put the
receipt in /Library/Receipts, and they therefore fail on any
non-administrator account.
The problem is not the location of the install, but only the attempt
to put the receipt in /Library/Receipts.
Hmm, it works fine on my Mac (I'm using Jaguar for this test).
Sample package:

When I change the default location to ~/, the file is correctly
installed.
