${PREFIX}/rt38/plugins is correct for the layout introduced with RT-3.8.x,
(although not for the layout used with rt36) and installing these extension
modules anywhere else makes no sense at all.  It's simply broken.

Hmmm... RT's idea of what PREFIX means is quite different to what the ports
uses it for.  In fact, it seems to me that RT treats $PREFIX pretty much
as if it was identical to $RTHOME.  It's all particularly confusing since RT
itself expects to be installed with everything under it's own directory tree
rooted at ${PREFIX}/rt3 (for FreeBSD values of PREFIX) and the rt38 port now
spreads everything across a number of different locations.

All the correct paths are already enumerated in ${SITE_PERL}/RT.pm
(or ${PREFIX}/rt3/lib/RT.pm for 3.6.x).  Most of the effort in the RT Extension
ports I maintain is telling each of those modules where to find RT.pm
-- except that when $PREFIX is set in the environment it overrides that.
Even when $PREFIX is set to the default case of /usr/local it breaks the build
-- so instead of looking for ${SITE_PERL}/RT.pm it looks instead for /usr/local/lib/RT.pm

I think that your patch essentially does that, but see ports/136656 where
I have a simpler solution -- just remove $PREFIX from the environment
during configuration.

	Cheers,
