Just to be clear I think you're referring to _installing_ files, right?
In the world where PREFIX and LOCALBASE are different, PREFIX cannot be
relied on to exist after the port is installed. Therefore regarding
configuration files that are not installed by the port the thing
installed (for example portmaster) should look for its configuration
files in LOCALBASE.
