Unified diff

I wasn't expecting the first patch to fly as it stood.  It was only intended to
clarify the problem and start a dialogue.  After doing a little more research,
I think simply respecting INSTALL_AS_USER might be the right approach.

The user must define this variable and point point others such as LOCALBASE,
PREFIX, etc. to a location where they have write access. 

>From bsd.ports.mk:

#                               - Like USE_PACKAGE_DEPENDS, but do not fallback 
on source.
# INSTALL_AS_USER
#                               - Define this to install as the current user,
intended
#                                 for systems where you have no root access.
# DISABLE_SIZE  - Do not check the size of a distfile even if the SIZE field
