I don't know however it's quite easy

$ configure --whatever-option-you-want
$ make
$ mkdir distro
$ DESTDIR=$PWD/distro make install
$ cd distro
$ tar cf - . | gzip -9 > ../distro.tgz
$ cd ..

You will get a distro.tgz ready to be unpacked under destination /.
It's also a good advice to use --prefix and a directory like
/opt/freetds or /usr/local/freetds (as James suggested).
If you want to transfer even tests the better way is to build and pack
entire source tree.

Mmm.... this is a problem with iconv. Use libiconv or --disable-libiconv
during configure. If you use no english charset is better to install
system packages for iconv.
