Installation outside prefix is not supported.  You could set
prefix to /usr2 and WWWDOCROOT to virtualwebs to install the key
files where you want them.  This would cause /usr2 to be populated
with the directories given in BSD.local.dist.  Alternativly,
you could make /usr/local/www/forumkatrina.org a symlike to
/usr2/virtualwebs/forumkatrina.org or something similar.  Of course, if
you want to install it more than once, ports won't work as it.  Making
phpbb capable of being a slave port and making local ports for each site
could be a good work around for that.
