It's unorthodox, but you should certainly be able to put the ports tree wherever in your system you want. You will need to set $PORTSDIR in the environment or in the configuration files of any ports management applications you use, but it should all work. Indeed, if you have configured everything appropriately for an alternate ports dir and something still insists on using /usr/ports, then that's a bug. Please report any such that you come across.
