I've been battling this for a while.  It's a bug in autoconf - set
INSTALL to /usr/bin/install manually, and it'll still happen.  It's got
nothing to do with make, it's got to do with "/" in the INSTALL
environment variable.

In one port I'm working on, I use:

post-patch:
        @for a in `find ${WRKSRC} -type f -name configure`; do \
                perl -i.orig -ne \ 'print if not /^  case "\$$ac_given_INSTALL/ ..
/^[ \t]*esac/' \
                        $$a; \
        done
