No,
${PREFIX} is the good variable to specify the installation directory,
of course if you set this the port will probably install its files in
the user-defined ${PREFIX}.
I'm writing the rewrite of the port to update vim to 7.3 and with a
real OPTIONS framework and remove the stupid WITH_VIM_OPTIONS KNOB
that doesn't work. The problem is that David doesn't like clean things
and I think he won't commit it because it won't be enough complicated.
With kind regards,
