Only items in the destroot will be properly recorded by MacPorts as belonging to that port. I'm not certain, but hopefully MacPorts would prevent you from placing files outside of that directory.

Yeah, I don't know why I was trying to do that in the first place. Despite this, strangely nothing was logged. I submitted the port with ticket #53753 if you want to take a look at it. I stuck to destroot.args (checked other portfiles, some use this, some patch makefile, not univocally), copied autocompletion files to {prefix}/share/{subport} (checked porthier) and added notes to copy them to a source-able location.
