I have read the man page, besides having also read a post that suggests 
WRKDIRPREFIX, but that really has NOT helped. As I said, I am at "etc" -
end of thinking capacity ;)

I read this:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2006-November/036801.html

I have done the following:
mkdir -P ~wash/ports/firebird/usr && chown -R wash ~wash/ports/firebird
cd /usr/ports/databases/firebird2-server
make WRKDIRPREFIX=~wash/ports/firebird install


I also added this line to /etc/make.conf:
SU_CMD=         /usr/local/bin/sudo /bin/sh -c


.... and still no luck!

What do you suppose I could be missing from the man page? It's the clue 
I am missing.
