Go read the FAQ and the relevant sections. There's a lot of information there. Basically, to change the default prefix, I do "PREFIX=/usr/foo make install". This is just one example. For more involved "customizations", you can build in stages (make fetch, make extract, make configure, etc). I've also changed the port's Makefile to send it my configure arguments.
