OBTW, I don't think building things for one destination and isntalling them into another is supported by the ports system. Even if it were, most automake-generated Makefiles have more than one variable for a destination dir location, not just 'prefix'. For example, fetchmail has configure-time definitions for, among others, bindir, infodir, datadir, mandir and exec_prefix; to successfully install it into another location, those would all have to be modified.
