I have a port I'm working on that is automatically generated by my build system. The build system also makes the port into a package. The problem is that the build system doesn't run at root and I want the default prefix for the package to be /usr/local. Basically, the build system runs 'make PREFIX=/tmp package'. The problem is that when you do a 'pkg_add package.tgz' it tries to install it into /tmp by default. It works ok if you do a 'pkg_add -p /usr/local package.tgz', but I would like /usr/local to be the default. I have come up with some annoying ways to deal with this, but I'd like to know if there is an easy switch or variable I can use to get this behavior.
