Replaced all occurrences of $(prefix)/doc in > Makefile.am with $(prefix)/share/doc. you should patch Makefile.am when your port install is using automake (doesn't appear to me so). otherwise you have to patch Makefile.in because this is the source configure builds the final Makefile from. In case you don't want to run automake just for creating that modified .in file, it's really better to modify the .in file itself.
