You need to understand the effect of two different variables here:
PREFIX --- where to install /this/ port
LOCALBASE --- where other ports have been installed
PREFIX *only* affects where the current port will be installed. It
doesn't affect where this port looks for any dependencies. That's what
LOCALBASE is for.
If you want to use /opt/ instead of /usr/local, then set both:
PREFIX=3D/opt
LOCALBASE=3D/opt
Note that this will completely ignore anything already installed in
/usr/local -- if you have got software installed there, this can result
in attempts to install the same port into two different locations, which
will not work due to both of them fighting over access to /var/db/pkg/
Again, all of this can be fixed by setting appropriate environment
variables. You might find the following of interest: PKG_DBDIR
PORT_DBDIR PACKAGES.
Cheers,
Matthew
