You should ask about ports on the <freebsd-ports@freebsd.org> mailing list.
Anyway, the directory tree that ports get installed under is known as the
$PREFIX, and defaults to /usr/local. A port isn't allowed to change the install
prefix (because the user might change it), Someone using this port of yours
could do a "make PREFIX=/home/user install" to place it under their homedir, if
that's something you want to look into.
