Hi Lane,
I think you misunderstood my problem. I know how to install a port to a 
specific location using PREFIX. What I want to achieve is to have one 
port installed twice. For example, I want one whole instance of 
phpMyAdmin to be in /var/www/ and a whole other one in /home/someuser/. 
And I want both instances to be manageable with the package tools (such 
as portupgrade) in order to keep both updated easily.

Or have I totally missed the point with PREFIX/DESTDIR ?

Thanx!
Alexis
