You also need this if the port splits the directories in a way that
libpng doesn't expect. Since it uses $(LOCALBASE)/lib and
$(LOCALBASE)/include/libpng, it may be doing that.

The port idiom is correctly more like:
LDFLAGS+=-L$(LOCALBASE)/subdir/to/png/lib
CPPFLAGS+=-I$(LOCALBASE)/subdir/to/png/include
to get LOCALBASE correct.

Unless it's really an autoconf question, in which case the right place
would be an autoconf list.
