How about adding a variable like REQUIRES_DYNAMIC_INSTALLATION=yes,
which will then generate a plist on the basis of "/var/tmp/${PORTNAME}",
so now it is the port's responsibility to install all contents to
"/var/tmp/${PORTNAME}" either by "make install DESTDIR=..." or by some
other way. Having that REQUIRES_DYNAMIC_INSTALLATION also includes a
'post-install' target which will copy all files from
/var/tmp/${PORTNAME} to ${PREFIX}.
