Comment(by mojca.miklavec.lists@…):

 Forgetting about +tutorial vs. +latex for a moment - compiling gnuplot
 outside of macports and running
 {{{
 make install DESTDIR=/some/weird/path
 }}}
 will properly place the latex files into /some/weird/path. However
 macports seems to use
 {{{
 make -w install --prefix=/some/weird/path
 }}}
 and that one fails. The file configure.in contains:
 {{{
 dnl we only care about texdir if latex is enabled
 if test "$with_latex" = yes; then
   test "$KPSEXPAND" = "no" -a "$TEXDIR" = "no" && AC_MSG_ERROR(dnl
     [texdir is not given and there is no kpsexpand, please tell where to
 install])
   dnl texdir has priority
   if test "$TEXDIR" = "no"; then
     if test "x$prefix" != "xNONE"; then
       TEXDIR=${prefix}/share/texmf
     else
       TEXDIR=`$KPSEXPAND '$TEXMFLOCAL'`
       if test "x$TEXDIR" = "x" -o "$TEXDIR" = "\$TEXMFLOCAL"; then
         TEXDIR=${ac_default_prefix}/share/texmf
       fi
     fi
     TEXDIR=${TEXDIR}/tex/latex/gnuplot
   fi
 fi
 }}}
 The resulting Makefile in share/LaTeX would contain most variables with
 prefix, for example:
 {{{
 datarootdir = ${prefix}/share
 docdir = ${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}
 }}}
 but
 {{{
 texdir = /usr/local/texlive/2011/../texmf-local/tex/latex/gnuplot
 }}}
 without prefix. DESTDIR would be obeyed with
 {{{
 $(INSTALL_DATA) $$files "$(DESTDIR)$(texdir)" || exit $$?; \
 }}}
 but prefix gets ignored. I'm not yet sure how exactly to properly fix
 that, but setting an explicit DESTDIR could help as a temporary
 workaround. Another option would be providing an explicit --with-
 texdir=PATH.
