$ grep /usr/local /usr/share/mk/*
/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk:# LOCALBASE - Where non-X11 ports install things (default: /usr/local).
/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk:LOCALBASE?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/local
Changing that setting might work, you'll just have to hope nothing has
/usr/local hardcoded though. Things shouldn't have. (You can also
override it by adding `PREFIX=/usr/local' to the make command line when
building a port. Or put PREFIX=/usr/somewhereelse in /etc/make.conf.) I
haven't tested any of these, but they _should_ work.
