Infrastructure ports (e.g. libs) are supposed to install in LINUXBASE. Leaf ports (mozilla, enemyterritory) are supposed to install in LOCAL- or X11BASE like every other port. We don't mention the first one explicitely in the porters handbook, the second one is "mentioned" implicitely (by not mentioning it the default install policy applies). Telling those facts explicitely is a good idea. I already have a lot on my TODO list, but if someone sends in a patch I will commit it (if nobody else beats me).
