Ports experts, the problem described, analyzed and patched in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/28155 and sitting there for more than two years deserves a solution, IMHO. We can install a complete base system under /foo/bar with make installworld DESTDIR=/foo/bar and the ports infrastructure is supposed to support this as well, but currently does not due to bugs in bsd.port.mk and ports makefiles. The author of the PR has done a good job AFAICT and supplied a patch for the problem at hand. I understand that it needs a lot of cleanup in various ports Makefiles. But I think it is worth the effort. I'd even volunteer to extend portlint to check for correct DESTDIR behavior, in order to avoid the named problem for future ports.
