There is a line NO_STAGE in the port, remove it and try to fire a build as
*unprivileged* user.
With good luck the Makefile in the source of this port uses $(DESTDIR) so
everything goes well.
If this is not the case there are some ways to enable stage support, e.g
- create do-install: target in the port Makefile and write place instructions
here
- change the install instructions in the source Makefile
'$(INSTALL) foo $(PREFIX)/bin' -> '$(INSTALL) foo $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin'
Do not overwrite!

else binaries and possible scripts are searching later in the wrong place for
libs ...
