No, it's best that you don't set PREFIX (especially like that - what  
happens if someone comes along and does "make install PREFIX=/usr/ 
opt"?).

Just passing PREFIX in CONFIGURE_ARGS may not be enough.  You should  
probably also do:

MAKE_ENV+=	PREFIX=${PREFIX}/${PORTNAME}

Otherwise, the submake will get PREFIX=${PREFIX} (which is why your  
port installed into /usr/local).
