The MacPorts defailt is:
destroot.destdir DESTDIR=${destroot}
The standard is for build systems to support DESTDIR; if it doesn't, all bets
are off.
Most build systems still support a way to specify where to install things, for
example using a PREFIX or prefix variable. If so, you can tell MacPorts
something like:
destroot.destdir PREFIX=${destroot}${prefix}
If the build system's install target is too confused to do even that properly,
then you can throw it away and write your own destroot block and do everything
yourself, as Jeremy said. But I would consider that a last resort.
