There's a test that's almost that simple that works even if you
haven't moved PREFIX for all ports. Since the pkg +CONTENTS list is
derived from PREFIX and the PLIST, "make install" followed by "make
deinstall" will complain about not being able to delete files that
weren't installed in the proper place.
