 * This looks like a very good idea, simple, elegant and even more generic.
 * DISTDIR_SUFX or DISTFILES_SUBDIR would probably be a better variable name,
 * I prefer the latter.

You're right, DISTDIR_PRFX makes no sense at all. ;)

I starting writing the patch with DISTFILES_SUBDIR but that overflows
way too many lines in bsd.port.mk, so I used DIST_SUBDIR, I hope that
is clear enough.

The new bsd.port.mk is now committed.  Modifications to ports'
Makefiles will follow shortly.
