None of these are run from bsd.port.mk because the port's own Makefile
(the one that comes with the original source) might be doing the
equivalent already.
* Finally, ${LOCALBASE}. The textproc/docproj port has a number of

* ${PREFIX}/share/sgml/iso8879:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/iso8879

I think so.
By the way, please try to use files, not directories, for dependency
checking. There are many cases where directories are left behind when
a port is deinstalled (missing @dirrm, extra file in directory so
@dirrm not working, etc.), so it's much safer to explicitly specify
one of the files.
