It uses dpkg and apt for package management, so it would be like
installing Firefox manually, and then installing the Firefox package.

As long as your manual installation put the binaries in /usr/local/*,
there should be no worries.  You can even choose which binaries to use
by modifitying your $PATH, or by writing out the full path to the
opera binary.
