No, this  is not  really correct.   When ports  are looking  for other
installed  ports,  they  should  use  ${LOCALBASE}  or  ${X11BASE}  as
appropriate,  not ${PREFIX}.   In other  words, the  wget port  should
probably  specify  -I${LOCALBASE}/include  instead of/in  addition  to
-I${PREFIX}/include.
