This is normal. The ports system looks for whatever it needs to install
a port under ${LOCALBASE}/ and it will install the port to ${PREFIX}/
Usually, ${LOCALBASE} and ${PREFIX} are set to the same value:
/usr/local. Having them set to *different* values only works for
installing the one single port at the tip of the dependency tree: it's
handy for port maintainers to test the port with, but not a lot else.
Things get very ugly very quickly if you try and install
port+dependencies without ${LOCALBASE} =3D=3D ${PREFIX}.
Cheers,
Matthew
