Or, if that doesn't work (I tried using PREFIX= some time ago but it
didn't change the prefix), try:

cd /usr/ports/<category>/<port> make DESTDIR=/usr2 install

This will create /usr2/bin, /usr2/sbin, /usr2/share, etc. and whatever
else the port requires (basically, it will create the same directory
tree as you see in /us/rlocal).

Hope this helps
