The guidelines we have now are that most ports should install into
www/${PORTNAME}; this means default/unsecured scripts are not visible
until they have been configured, and also avoids using a directory which
is server (apache?) specific.
I think www/data/${PORTNAME} is probably acceptable if the script is
simple and/or needs no configuration.

Installing into www/data-dist is completely wrong.

I tend to use WWWDIR (which excludes PREFIX); but as you say, there is
no consistency amongst ports.
