Maybe the problem is not the configure script but the Makefile install
target.  Check to see what the generated Makefile looks like.  It's
possible that it uses gnumake syntax, in which case you may need
USE_GMAKE=yes in the port Makefile.  Or, if it doesn't install many
files, you can just provide a do-install: target in your port Makefile
and install the files yourself.
