Don't. It's not really going to work.

The makefiles of the doc tree set DOC_PREFIX to ${.CURDIR} as you have
noticed already. The value make(1) gives to this variable is the `real
path' of the directory:
% cd /tmp
% mkdir foo
% cat > foo/Makefile
all:
@echo ${.CURDIR}
^D
% ln -s foo bar
% cd bar
% make
/tmp/foo

If you don't explicitly set DOC_PREFIX the makefiles will try to
`discover' its correct value by using the real path of the current
directory. This will not work for symlinked directories.
By setting DOC_PREFIX to /usr/doc you turn off the lookup of symbolic
links and it all works again.
