When a package is built, it is always done *after* the port has been
installed into $PREFIX.  As far as I recall, packages don't get built
unless you explicitly ask for them, so the command you used to install
the program is what you need to look at for details.  Incidentally,
built packages get installed to /usr/ports/packages by default.

None of this is different from earlier versions, as far as I remember.
