Is chroot necessary, or can I get away with having things installed with 
a different PREFIX?

If possible, I'd prefer something like

   # cd /usr/ports/textproc/docproj
   # make PREFIX=/usr/doc.en_US.ISO_8859-1 install
   # make PREFIX=/usr/doc.ja_JP.eucJP install

and then

   # cd /home/doc-build/cvs/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1
   # make PREFIX=/usr/doc.en_US.ISO_8859-1 install
   # make PREFIX=/usr/doc.ja_JP.eucJP install

which (I think) avoids all the messiness of having to keep a chrooted area
populated with all the extra binaries that are required.

Is that simpler?
