I haven't tried this, but looking at the ports Makefile, it looks like
you can install it to multiple locations as follows:

cd /usr/ports/www/joomla
sed -i'' -e "s at www/joomla@%%JOOMLA_DIR%%@" pkg-plist
make PKGNAMESUFFIX=_vh1 JOOMLA_DIR=www/joomla_vh1 install

The sed is required to fix the pkg-plist, as it hardcodes the install
directory to www/joomla (PR sent).

You would have to upgrade it manually, by first deleting the port, and
then using the same make comand that you used to install it.

To use port management tools (portmaster, portupgrade, ...), you would
need to create a port for each virtual host as following:

 - create www/joomla_vh1 directory
 - create www/joomla_vh1/Makefile

 # port for virtual host: X
 #
  PKGNAMESUFFIX= _vh1

  MASTERDIR= ${.CURDIR}/../joomla

  JOOMLA_DIR= www/joomla${PKGNAMESUFFIX}

  .include "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile"
