I completely agree that having non-standard PREFIX installation die is
improper behaviour. Perhaps a better solution would be to add something
like that to bsd.gnome.mk? Maybe overload pre-install like we do for
pre-patch? If such a thing should exist, it could be abstracted to work
for all ports affected as such (at least 50% of GNOME-related ports, in
my experience).
