You should ask about ports on the <freebsd-ports at freebsd.org> mailing list.

Anyway, the directory tree that ports get installed under is known as the 
$PREFIX, and defaults to /usr/local.  A port isn't allowed to change the install 
prefix (because the user might change it),  Someone using this port of yours 
could do a "make PREFIX=/home/user install" to place it under their homedir, if 
that's something you want to look into.
