Back to the roots again?
It is not portage (especially not prefix-portage) being designed to work
like that, but the ebuilds all over Gentoo Linux.
And to minimize the effort of porting ebuilds to prefix, my initial
approach using AFFIX for that was dropped.
What the AFFIX approach was:
In prefix, AFFIX was empty,
in non-prefix, AFFIX was (designed to be) "/usr".
Thus, the configure arg fex was designed to be used this way:
configure --prefix=${PREFIX}${AFFIX}
which changed to
configure --prefix=${EPREFIX}/usr
