Yes - these are what I've gotten so far:

local_startup="/opt/etc/rc.d"
ike_program="/opt/sbin/isakmpd"   # Path to IKE daemon
ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /opt/lib /opt/lib/compat/pkg"
ldconfigsoft_paths="/usr/libsoft /usr/libsoft/compat /opt/libsoft"
ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/compat/aout /opt/lib/aout"
ldconfig_local_dirs="/opt/libdata/ldconfig"
ldconfig_local32_dirs="/opt/libdata/ldconfig32"
ldconfig_localsoft_dirs="/opt/libdata/ldconfigsoft"

The SHELL in the environment shows CSH, so I don't think .profile matters.
I changed .cshrc in both the jail extant and in the @clean snapshot, and
that didn't do it, surprisingly. I'll set some sort of canary value and see
if it makes it into the environment in case PATH is being manipulated after
the fact.

Relocating optional software doesn't seem like that big a change. Again,
this appears to be advertised functionality. What I'm curious about is if
it was ever tested - are we seeing bitrot, an incomplete design, or some
other factor that's making it painful to make use of PREFIX in builds? I've
used GNU Stow often enough that I expect software to be somewhat flexible
with regard to where it expects to find components.
