If you are only playing around with a couple of functions, or in a single file, you can interactively evaluate single functions by pressing C-M-x `eval-defun' with your cursor over the function, similarly you can interactively evaluate entire files with C-c v `eval-buffer'. In both of these cases the interactively evaluated functions will take precedence over anything loaded on startup, so this is a great way to experiment with new function definitions. As a side note, when you want to debug a function, or closely track it's execution path you can prefix the `eval-defun' function above (i.e. with C-u C-M-x) which instrument the function with edebug (the results of which will become clear next time to use the function). As for make issues, it is possible to use Org-mode without ever running make or make install. I don't know of a way to forcefully reload all of Org-mode, but I find that evaluation at the function/buffer level is generally sufficient for my needs.
