The same way, see FAQ 5.5 Making a release. This cd /usr/src/etc && env DESTDIR=/scratch make distrib-dirs only creates the directory structure under /scratch and doesn't compile userland into /scratch. Did you miss the rest out? Compile still goes to /usr/obj or /usr/xobj, what you are possibly referring to is the install part of the build which takes the compiled from /usr/obj /usr/xorg and installs into the correct location, the install uses DESTDIR see man release(8).
