Yes. Not honoring the prefix is a bug in the port. If you do need to do
prefix-specific things during install, use pkg-install, see
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/pkg-install.html
I suspect that many ports are not well tested outside of "/usr/local", but the
infrastructure is there and available.
