Disapprove because of hardcore. You should be replace from patch-configure  
to REINPLACE_CMD with ${LOCALBASE}. Something like this (untest):

==================================
post-patch:
	@${REINPLACE_CMD} -e 's|/usr/include/linux|${LOCALBASE}/include/linux|g' \
		${WRKSRC}/configure
==================================

If it's too general, then patch in configure by replace from hardcore path  
to %%LOCALBASE%% in somewhere for REINPLACE_CMD can know where to replace  
them.

Why? The CONFIGURE_ENV doesn't work?

In Makefile at 44 line:
==================================
CONFIGURE_ENV=	CPPFLAGS="-I${WRKSRC}/include ${CPPFLAGS}  
-I${LOCALBASE}/include -I${X11BASE}/include ${PTHREAD_CFLAGS}" \
		LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L${LOCALBASE}/lib -L${X11BASE}/lib ${PTHREAD_LIBS}"
==================================

No object if it works for you.
