  The port is perfectly flexible and able to cater to the needs of other sites because the software provides an environment variable SBCL_HOME which overrides the default value.  This fact is documented in every reasonable place (the manual, online, man pages, README etc.).  In addition I would recommend the user set this enviroment variable even for the default prefix because it is known to eliminate some problems with core files.

Thank you,
