Take a look in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk

If I get you right (where you want the build to go) then you are after:

# WRKDIRPREFIX  - The place to root the temporary working directory
#                                 hierarchy (default: none).
# WRKDIR  - A temporary working directory that gets *clobbered* on clean
#                          (default: ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/work).
# WRKSRC  - A subdirectory of ${WRKDIR} where the distribution actually
#                 unpacks to.  (Default: ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME} unless
#                NO_WRKSUBDIR is set, in which case simply ${WRKDIR}).

If you want the port to install in another place the use
PREFIX=my_place
