Differences when using `make` V `port test`

[Jev Bjorsell]

Hi All,

Noob porter here. :)

I created a port for prometheus, and opened a ticket here:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212468

On the advice of Kubilay, I ran `port test`, and this leads me to my
question;

When running `port test` the build binaries are not found, (logs below),
but when doing a simple `make install` everything works fine, and I can see
the binaries in the work/ directory also.
I suspect that the pormetheus build process is doing something a little
magic, but I'm lookin to understand why the build behaves differently under
`port test` compared to a straight `make`.

Logs from both `port test` and `make` follow.

Thanks,
Jev
