What I do is to put these svn versions into my home directory, with 
something like

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/gregp/scribus135

thus you have no concern about messing up your standard Scribus 
installation.
In addition, you can run 'make install' as yourself (no sudo), which is 
further insurance you can't overwrite anything that requires root 
privileges.
