You're looking for PREFIX. Read bsd.port.mk(5) to learn about the
differences between PREFIX, TRUEPREFIX and LOCALBASE.

Thanks!
The ports man page doesn't mention PREFIX and says this:
LOCALBASE Where to install things in general...
Whereas the bsd.port.mk man page says this:
LOCALBASE where other ports have already been installed...
PREFIX Base directory for the current port installation...
Which is quite a bit more useful. Maybe the ports man page could use
a little work. I haven't noticed a [email protected] mailing list. I
would like to know more about how the community discusses and
updates the documentation. Any pointers?
No, that's intentional.
ports(7) is pretty high level and focuses on how to *use* the ports tree.
LOCALBASE kind of belong there, as a general thingy, whereas bsd.port.mk(5)
*is* the main documentation entry point for the actual porting stuff.
Don't duplicate that information. It's already difficult enough trying to
keep things synchronized. If anything the ports(7) page is probably too
long and contains some stuff that is already explained elsewhere.
Perhaps PREFIX is not in the ports man page because it is only meant to
be used by masters of ports internals engaged in unspeakable acts of
software installation origami. What seems (to me) to be the obvious use
of PREFIX doesn't work at all. Any ideas?
