how do ports install into ${destroot} instead of into ${prefix} directly?

You would still have to at least inspect the Makefile to find out what is
needed, then set variables for the destroot phase or worst case provide
your own destroot phase.

If it's already packaged for Linux, you can inspect the Linux packaging to
see how they destroot it. The details for MacPorts will be different, but
at least you won't have to confront possibly contorted make logic (like I
had to for a local Portfile).
