According to the sys admins around here, /usr/local is for things that
are installed for the general use of the folks around here and it may
or may not live on the machine that you are logged into.

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is with installing ports and
packages into /usr/local.  Seems sane to me, and a bit PITA to
change...
