It defaults to /usr/local or you can set it to anything you want on the

That depends on your definition of properly. Yes they will end up
there, but that's what is supposed to happen when you set, PREFIX to
something other than /usr/local.

That shouldn't be an issue. If you point apache at the real paths,
everything should be fine. I merely suggest using a symlike to get the
files installed where you want them.

That would be breaking the Makefile, not fixing it. Realistly, if you
want to use a non-standard file system layout, you shouldn't use the
port. Just do a "make depends" in the phpbb port directory to get the
pieces you need, and then install phpbb by hand. Most php apps are
pretty trivial to install if you know how to configure a web server and
database.
