 * I was just noticing something with my nmh port...it seems that the prefix is 
 * compiled into the binaries, so if you make a package out of it, you can't
 * retarget the prefix with the pkg_add -p option (without recompilation, which
 * kind of defeats the purpose of the package & its -p option).  How is this
 * kind of stuff normally handled?

It is not. :)
