Yes, but you probably don't want to.

If you let the ./configure script use the default --prefix, Ruby will 
get installed in /usr/local. Then all you have to do is add /usr/local 
to your PATH in your ~/.profile file in front of the default PATH, like 
this:

export PATH=/usr/local:$PATH

You can read about PATH and .profile by entering

man bash

in a Terminal window, or just Google it.
