After helpful off-list mail from mandree@ which pointed at this being a
local problem, I eventually found the following line in
/usr/local/etc/ports.conf.

  mail/mailman: CONFIGURE_ARGS=3D--with-var-prefix=3D/data/mailman

One of those tweaks one implements to accommodate a local customization,
and doesn't even remember it's there 6 or 7 years later.

It would appear that this kind of thing doesn't play nicely with the new
staging environment.  After removing that line from ports.conf and
rebuilding the port, it installed happily.  Obviously I then had to
reshuffle my data directories manually.
