Change:

MAMBO_DIR?=     www/${PORTNAME}

...in the port's Makefile, and/or change ${PREFIX}.

Heh, you said something amusing about overgeneralizations.  :-)

In general, changing $PREFIX as mentioned above, or by adding something like:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --prefix=/foo/bar/server1

...if the port uses GNU configure, will work for most ports.
