You're mudding up things. You want to set LOCALBASE to /usr/foo and
ports should be "PREFIX" clean as that is what is passed to them.
LOCALBASE is used as the default value for PREFIX _AND_ the location for
dependencies. Thus when testing a port that depends on tk, I can do
make PREFIX=/tmp/foo package
And not have to install Tcl/Tk in /tmp/foo also. Thus it is easier to
auto-generate PLISTs.

Correct.

If all ports are PREFIX clean, you will have that. Thus it doens't need
to be discussed separately.
