If the port is prefix compliant you should be able to do make PREFIX=/alternate base dir/ Then watch out for libraries the port installs, because they will end up in /alternate base dir/lib. When that happens run ldconfig -m /alternate base dir/lib, add /alternate base dir/bin to your path and everything should be set. -Mike
