Most probably this software does not support the DESTDIR= parameter for
'make install' [1]. Therefore it installed directly into the prefix
/opt/local, which is very bad. Check any README or INSTALL files if it
mentions DESTDIR= or prefix=. You would have to pass the correct
parameter with destroot.destdir [2].

After fixing this you would have to do a force install to get rid of
those previously directly installed files.

Unfortunately I was unable to download the named distfile above, so I
cannot provide more specific help for this port.
