The easiest way to do change where a port is installed to is to do:

	% make PREFIX=/opt/mysql

or similiar.  This information is probably in the handbook:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html

or maybe in the Porter's handbook.

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html

(which is probably more info than you need, but might be a worthwhile
reference).

You might also want to look in "man 7 ports".
