I frankly don't think this is worth spending much time thinking about. There's
so much variation in where software installs documentation that it would be a
losing battle to try to impose some sort of "correct" hierarchy.
Personally, if I have to manually install documentation anyway ("xinstall" or
"copy"), I use ${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}. (I don't remember where I've put
examples.)
But if a particular build system does something else, I don't bother "fixing"
it beyond making sure it puts everything under ${prefix}/share.
