Just do a make depends in the phpbb port directory to get the
pieces you need, and then install phpbb by hand. Most php apps are
pretty trivial to install if you know how to configure a web server and
database.
I have now found an even more serious problem phpbb is NOT compatible with
php5 -- which opens a whole can of worms...

I wonder, while this is being looked at, whether it might be possible to have

This would be a most valuable option.

Installation outside prefix is not supported. You could set
prefix to /usr2 and WWWDOCROOT to virtualwebs to install the key
files where you want them. This would cause /usr2 to be populated
with the directories given in BSD.local.dist. Alternativly,
you could make /usr/local/www/forumkatrina.org a symlike to
/usr2/virtualwebs/forumkatrina.org or something similar. Of course, if
you want to install it more than once, ports won't work as it. Making
phpbb capable of being a slave port and making local ports for each site
could be a good work around for that.

Just a small point the makefile includes line
Perform a make options to see a list of available installation options
but
# make options
make: don't know how to make options. Stop
Maybe the Makefile needs to test the difference between
usr2
and
/usr
to distinguish been an absolute path and a path relative to ${PREFIX}

good idea when the files are networked. The other thing is that /usr2/ is a
different physical device which holds files for replication to duplicate
physical devices for webfarming.

Does anyone know how to fix the Makefile for the port so that it does not
apply ${PREFIX} when presented with an absolute path such as / but does use
${PREFIX} when the path is relative.
That would do as a workaround for the moment.
I am not familiar with makefiles and I would like to ask if someone who is

That depends on your definition of properly. Yes they will end up
there, but that's what is supposed to happen when you set, PREFIX to
something other than /usr/local.
This would cause /usr2 to be populated
with the directories given in BSD.local.dist. Alternativly,
you could make /usr/local/www/forumkatrina.org a symlike to

That shouldn't be an issue. If you point apache at the real paths,
everything should be fine. I merely suggest using a symlike to get the
files installed where you want them.
Of course, if
you want to install it more than once, ports won't work as it.
