Is there any way to have per-directory init files?

I've got a directory where I need to run "./install" after each round of 
edits to any file in that directory.  What I'd like to do is make 
"./install" my default compile command, but only when I'm in that 
directory.  How can I do that?

I'm running GNU Emacs 22.1.1 on OSX-10.5.  Amazingly enough, OSX doesn't 
seem to ship with make, so I can't just put a Makefile in my directory with 
"./install" as the default action :-(
