Should I make most of the PREFIX/xxx into ${prefix}/dbmail22/xxx?

I seem to see a lot of that in macports.

Where do you see that?

I would say you should not insert an additional directory "dbmail22" into the hierarchy unless you need to support multiple ports for multiple versions of the software active simultaneously. But if you're only talking about dbmail and dbmail-devel, then it is not expected to be able to use them simultaneously; it is expected for both to install files to the same places and for only one to be active simultaneously.
