I am not sure, but have my doubts. Software Collections distributes
software in RPM, with pathes hardcoded to /opt/rh/.

You may be able to use "alien" to convert the RPM to a tarball that you
could untar somewhere in your home directory.  The scripts to "enable" a
software collections module into your current path would work regardless
of install point.  Maybe this is faster than compiling from source?  I'm
not sure.
