Am trying to get my head around the ports system, specifically

version
using the configure script I would do:
./configure prefix="/usr/local/apache22"
I believe the default prefix can be changed, but I'm unclear as to
why
you would want to change it. The port installs a package that you
can
then remove easily with the pkg tools. Why would you want to do
this?
But wait! I thought the pkg system maintained track of where things
were installed even if directed somewhere else and a pkg_delete etc
would still work. No?
