The stylesheet line varies depending on how you configured Nmap; it's
not hard-coded. By default the prefix is /usr/local but you can change
that with the --prefix option to the configure script. Then you can
install Nmap in your home directory or anywhere you want.

Another solution would be to use the --stylesheet or --webxml option.
