Hello Angelo, I worked on that DESTDIR feature, and as far as I know, there hasn't been any serious bug reported about it, so I think you can safely use it. What it does is nullmounting your ports tree into a chroot environment and building the ports there chrooted. First, there was an attempt to install ports to the chroot from outside but it failed because most of the ports are not ready to do so out of the box, so now the DESTDIR-support is much simpler and less error-prone.
