I thought over how getting neatly rid of this.  I would like to
introduce a `INSTALL_AS_USER' variable, as it exists in
ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.  However I don't want to duplicate this code :

%%%
  .if exists(${DESTDIR}${KODIR})
          -thiskernel=`sysctl -n kern.bootfile` ; \
          if [ "`dirname "$$thiskernel"`" != ${DESTDIR}${KODIR} ] ; then \
                  chflags -R noschg ${DESTDIR}${KODIR} ; \
                  rm -rf ${DESTDIR}${KODIR} ; \
          else \
                  if [ -d ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}.old ] ; then \
                          chflags -R noschg ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}.old ; \
                          rm -rf ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}.old ; \
                  fi ; \
                  mv ${DESTDIR}${KODIR} ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}.old ; \
                  sysctl kern.bootfile=${DESTDIR}${KODIR}.old/"`basename "$$thiskernel"`" ; \
          fi
  .endif  
%%%

Your workaround might be a good start : create a dummy chflags(8) which
will be used when INSTALL_AS_USER is set.  Of course this will need to
introduce an internal variable, say ${CHFLAGS}.

My problem is actually that I don't know where to make this dummy
chflags(8) live in the source tree.  Ideas ?
