I was having similar problems trying to build the www/analog port with
PREFIX=/opt/analog. Turns out the dependencies (e.g. libtool, gmake) all
get installed under the same prefix, which is good, but the build doesn't
find them if you don't put /opt/analog/bin in your PATH.
After manually altering my PATH, the build continues, only to stop a
little further because it cant find the right include files (it's looking
in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/include/gd but it should be looking
in /opt/analog/include..
After some searching I found this in files/patch-aa:
+CFLAGS += -I${LOCALBASE}/include -I${LOCALBASE}/include/gd
+LIBS+= -L${LOCALBASE}/lib -lgd -lpng -ljpeg -lz
Adding PREFIX to CFLAGS and LIBS finally made it possible to compile the port.
I think the ports system *is* designed to install outside /usr/local,
but there's a lot of undocumented (and untested) stuff out there.
