Override default Application install location?

I had been a regular, happy user until I tried to install Virtualbox on my
iMac running 10.7.3 Lion. 

The installation of VB itself via Macports went smoothly.  But when I tried
to install an extension pack downloaded from VB site, I failed because
apparently the extension tried to reference a library stored in
/Applications/VirtualBox.app/... but by default, Macports installed it in
/Applications/Macports/VirtualBox.app/....  So my question is: 

Can I override the default, say, append something lime
"--with-application-dir=..." after the usual "port install virtualbox", so
that the final app would be installed in /Applications/? 

I don't want to change the global settings in macports.conf.  And the
extension pack is not a port in macports otherwise it would have worked. 

Thanks!
