YES!.. That's what Docker was created for!.. Software portability: building an application with all its runtime dependencies into a container.
What we used to do -and I'm still doing it to avoid Docker's overhead- is just compile a local version of the software with all the needed options; that way one can control the running software version independently of the one available on the system.
