Change:
MAMBO_DIR?= www/${PORTNAME}
...in the port's Makefile, and/or change ${PREFIX}.

Heh, you said something amusing about overgeneralizations. :-)
In general, changing $PREFIX as mentioned above, or by adding something like:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --prefix=/foo/bar/server1
...if the port uses GNU configure, will work for most ports.
