Clarifying 'nice'...

As you know, many custom install targets do:

${INSTALL_PROGRAM} foo ${PREFIX}/bin

Those should change to

${INSTALL_PROGRAM} foo ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin

or the shorthand:

${INSTALL_PROGRAM} foo ${TARGETDIR}/bin

So those ports need to know about DESTDIR anyway.

But I can't think of any reason offhand not to have the pkg-install
scripts run in the DESTDIR chroot so they wouldn't have to know about
DESTDIR.

And standardizing (in bsd.port.mk) how pkg-install is run from custom
*install targets would make the task of getting ports properly DESTDIR
compliant much easier.
