Depending on what installp is supposed to do by the package creator changing the destination might be a bad idea. However in case no scripting action is involved, e.g. just plain filesets in the package you could simply use restore to extract the backup format file and move the filesets then. You won't be able to reject, uninstall, update the package with installp later though, if you treat the installation like a tarball.

gpt-uninstall
GPT-UNINSTALL(8) User Contributed Perl Documentation GPT-UNINSTALL(8)
NAME
gpt-uninstall - Uninstall any GPT package.
SYNOPSIS
gpt-uninstall [--force --help -name ] pkgname-flavor-pkgtype
DESCRIPTION
gpt-uninstall will uninstall a package from the system.
OPTIONS
-force This will force actions to take place.
-native Use native package manager (Only works with rpm).
pkgname-flavor-pkgtype
Expression describing the packages that should be removed.
-help Print a brief help message and exits.
-man Prints the manual page and exits.
-version
Prints the version of GPT and exits.
EXAMPLES
gpt-uninstall -name=foo
removes all flavors and package types with the name "foo".
gpt-uninstall foo
Also removes all flavors and package types with the name "foo".
gpt-uninstall 'foo-*-*'
A third way of typing the same uninstall. Note the single quotes.
gpt-uninstall '*-noflavor-*'
Remove all of the packages with a 'noflavor' build flavor.
gpt-uninstall '*-*-*'
Remove all packages. Note that files generated by gpt-postinstall will not be removed
BUGS
Currently the flavor check that gpt-uninstall uses only works if the flavor is installed by gpt-build. And so for example:
gpt-uninstall foo-gcc32-*
will not work. The work around is to uninstall the packages individually using something like:
gpt-uninstall -name=foo -flavor=gcc32 -pkgtype=pgm
Or use a wild card for the flavor to uninstall all flavors of the package.
gpt-uninstall foo-*-*
