I'm actually not completely sure how hard it would be make it possible to 
co-install a locally compiled calligra with a global calligra, I guess 
it's a matter of .so versioning and plugin version numbers.

No, that's not necessary :-). By playing with a number of environment 
variables you can determine which calligra is used. I've got about a dozen 
co-installed on my development system, in fact.

For locally installed versions of calligra, the methods given in

http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building/Building_Calligra#Running_Calligra_applications

work quite well.
