The simplest way I can think of involves a little preparation:

1. Copy all your ~/.z* config files to a new directory, let's call it
   ~/.zsh-trial

2. Edit ~/.zsh-trial/.zshenv to add

   fpath=(/path/to/your/zsh/sources/Completion**/*(/) $fpath)

3. When building zsh, "configure --disable-dynamic ..." so that you don't
   have to worry about mucking with module_path, which is a bit horrific

4. I've appended the contents of an edited config.modules below; replace
   your config.modules with it before running "make" so that you link in
   all the testable modules.  (It's not an attachment because the list
   archive prefers it that way.)

5. Do not "make install"; instead run the trial from the build tree as

	ZDOTDIR=$HOME/.zsh-trial Src/zsh


Here's the config.modules edit.  I keep it around as config.modules.local
because it has to be re-copied onto config.modules after any re-configure.
