Well, it's been an interesting exercise getting this far and now I
find out that MythTV doesn't support DESTDIR. Is there a standard
approach to handling this problem? (Myth's configure is >5,000

The MacPorts defailt is:
destroot.destdir DESTDIR=${destroot}
The standard is for build systems to support DESTDIR; if it doesn't,
all bets are off.
Most build systems still support a way to specify where to install
things, for example using a PREFIX or prefix variable. If so, you
can tell MacPorts something like:
destroot.destdir PREFIX=${destroot}${prefix}
If the build system's install target is too confused to do even that
properly, then you can throw it away and write your own destroot
block and do everything yourself, as Jeremy said. But I would
consider that a last resort.
Thanks, yes, PREFIX is supported. I'll give that a go.
