I've been forced into this on Unix and Linux systems, by overly
conservative admins. For vim itself, it's quite straightforward.

It gets tricky if you want features (say, gvim) that require libraries
the system hasn't got; I've been forced to compile and build those
first, and their dependencies, then tell the vim build where to find
the headers and libraries. Can anyone give some pointers for this?
