New description:

 Hello,

 According to the darwinports/README, the prefix variable in portconf (e.g.
 /etc/ports/port.conf or
 ${HOME}/.portsrc) is supposed to be honored as a "directory in which to
 install ports".  AFAIK,
 base/src/port1.0/portmain.tcl overrides prefix set in
 base/src/darwinports1.0/darwinports.tcl by hardcoding
 prefix to /opt/local.  This patch allows portmain.tcl to use the prefix
 value specified in portconf.
