What's wrong with /usr/local/samba ... :)
If you ./configure'd properly it should work.
./configure --prefix=/data2/foo/baz ; make ; make install
If you first configured and then moved things it probably won't, or if you
didn't move the prefix.
testparm looks at CONFIGFILE, which is defined as:
source/Makefile.in:CONFIGFILE = $(LIBDIR)/smb.conf
