Yes, absolutely.  Specify the target dir with ./autogen.sh 
--prefix=$HOME/usr
(assuming that's where you want to install it).

As for dependencies, see the INSTALL docs.  (I know they can all be 
satisfied
in freebsd, since I installed lilypond on freebsd recently, but I can't 
remember
everything I installed)
