Subject: Side-effects of changing WRKDIR in bsd.port.mk?

Hi folks,

I keep my ports tree mounted on /usr but I want builds to happen in
/a/ports-build. I've set the following in /etc/make.conf:

WRKDIRPREFIX=   /a/ports-build
DISTDIR=        ${WRKDIRPREFIX}/distfiles

This causes WRKDIR to end up being something like
/a/ports-build/usr/ports/www/apache13/work . I'd prefer something like
/a/ports-build/www/apache13/work .

Can anyone think of any nasty side-effects of using the following patch
to effect this change?

 .else

I can't see how this would break anything, but I thought I'd check here
before being brazen.

Thanks,
Sheldon.
