Modify the Makefile to add or change those which you need added/changed.

Your understanding of --prefix is incorrect. It doesn't specify a directory
into which all files are installed, it specifies a directory _prefix_. (For
example, binaries are installed to ${PREFIX}/bin or ${PREFIX}/sbin.) This
directory prefix is also used to search for files outside of "standard"
directories. (For example, when searching for gmake, configure will search
in /bin, /usr/bin, and ${PREFIX}/bin. If you've used '--prefix
/usr/local', then it will find gmake in /usr/local/bin.)
Judging from what you want to give configure, you have a rather custom
filesystem layout under /usr/local. (Most sites have 'common' directories
under /usr/local. On my systems, I have bin, etc, include, lib, libexec,
man, sbin, share. You appear to have a directory for each application, such
as /usr/local/apache and /usr/local/jserv.)
In order to use a custom directory layout, you will need to take a look at
'configure --help' and investigate all the path options
(--prefix, --exec-prefix, --bindir, etc) and determine which need to be set
to /usr/local/jserv (where you wish to install) and just plain /usr/local
(so that configure can find tools such as gmake.) You'll also need to make
sure that certain apache-jserv-specific configure arguments are set properly
so that apache and it's modules can be found
(--libdir, --libexecdir, --with-apxs)
