The fact that those directories are used at all suggests that something is wrong about how the port is using meson, because the normal ports framework for meson already sets the directories up as needed for OpenBSD. I understand wanting to fix it yourself, but you might still end up with the right directories but done in a way which isn't really right for ports, it would be much simpler if we can see what you have now.
