I recently had an issue with installworld and DESTDIR with a 5.1-RELEASE 
source tree. I concluded after some brief reads of the make magic that I 
needed to set "MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX" before it'd work, even if it was just 
set to "/usr/obj". Sorry for the sketchiness, and I don't actually have 
a world built into /usr/obj to try this out without burning CPU cycles 
for an hour or so.
