The patches/* files are supposed to adapt themselves to the
configuration in bsd.port.mk, not the other way around.
From your description, adding -DPREFIX=${PREFIX} (and more?) to CFLAGS
and then modifying patches/* to use these new defines, sounds like the
easiest fix. If you have an up-to-date port, you are welcome to
submit a bug-report (send-pr(1)) with your changes. Consider
contacting the MAINTAINER first.
