I'd say install them in a different path, then change your PATH variable to point to the alternate utilites when you want to use them (in your $HOME/.profile, not in the system-wide /etc/profile). That way, they are only visible when you want, but if another component relies on the Busybox version (they have different command line switches in some cases), they can still be accessed in the normal location.
