Unless I've got something wrong here, what you want is already
available. I added a Makefile.local in /usr/ports/audio/mpg123 with text
"PREFIX=/usr/home/ggop" and then I installed /usr/ports/audio/cmp3
(which needs mpg123). After installation, prefix for cmp3 is /usr/local
and for mpg123 is /usr/gome/ggop.
