Ah, now I understand the config thingy, thanks! I'll contact you off-bug for some questions about the Makefile. Or is there a devel mailing list?

A tiny thing about DESTDIR that may be useful to know in general: please use PREFIX for to set the prefix in the Makefile, and don't set DESTDIR (but do use it) so that one can install the files in a temporary directory without changing the prefix. This is explained shortly in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-prefix.html .
