Subject: Is it Ok to write files into ${STAGEDIR}/${PREFIX} on "build" stage?

Hello, Ports.
I'm writing port, which has complex, multi-stage build. In the middle ofg
build some files should be installed into some directory with exactly same
structure, as final result -- some ${TEMPROOT}/${PREFIX}. I could create
special place for files, and in "do-install" simple do "tar -cf - -C
${TEMPROOT} . | tar -xf - -C ${STAGEDIR}" -- it will be correct install to
stage dir for this port. But it looks strange -- to have two copies of all
final files.
Now I'm using ${STAGEDIR}/${PREFIX} instead of ${TEMPROOT}/${PREFIX} and
it works nicely -- do-install: becomes no-op, everything is in-place and
port doesn't spent another 250MiB of disk place.
But, maybe, I don't something significant flaw in this approach and it is
bad idea?
