Is there a simple way to point my ports to install everything in / usr/local instead of /opt/local

You cannot install MacPorts in /usr/local.

To be clear, I do not want to install MAcPorts in /usr/local, it is fine in /opt/local. But when I build a specific port i want THAT to be built and installed into /usr/local/

having everything in /otp/local makes it very annoying to try and build things against MacPorts that are not already in MacPorts. For example, I notice that slrn that I built did not find the existing uudeview install, and everything I try to get slrn's configure to see it has failed. If I could simply build uudeview where it is expected to be, then I could build slrn with the options I want.
