If the port is prefix compliant you should be able to do

make PREFIX=/alternate base dir/

Then watch out for libraries the port installs, because
they will end up in /alternate base dir/lib.  When that happens
run ldconfig -m /alternate base dir/lib, add /alternate base dir/bin
to your path and everything should be set.
