This was sent to the wrong list; the freebsd-ports mailing list
is --> that way.

Anyway, DESTDIR support is incomplete and further work seems to have
stalled.  The easiest thing to do is either

a) mount the ports tree inside your jail (e.g using nullfs) and build
it "as normal"

b) Use precompiled packages within your jail, e.g. from the FTP site
using pkg_add -r or 'make package' outside the jail.
