The part about building as non-root is correct - the 'configure' script
should be changed to not require that.
The part about 'ETC is already set' is not necessarily true - on a typical
FreeBSD installation, /usr/local/etc is created at the time the first port
or package is installed, when mtree is first run with the /usr/local
hierarchy. If sysutils/fcron happens to be the first port to be built,
or if it is built with a nonexistant PREFIX, ${PREFIX}/etc would not exist.
G'luck,
Peter
