As for non-standard ${PREFIX}, I don't think it will make any difference with the upgrade script. Because, I feel it's more like package/port bug rather than upgrade script bug. But, I agree about should try to test install x11/gnome-* in the non-standard ${PREFIX} and see if GNOME will run fine. > Also, now is when considering usability is super important.
