Ports look for their dependencies in either LOCALBASE or X11BASE, depending on whether the port itself uses X or not.. However, this does not help much in your particular case, since both LOCALBASE and X11BASE assume a single directory tree where all the header files and libs are located, and in your case, there are many such directory trees.. Hmf.. the best that I can come up with is some kind of a temporary directory providing symbolic links to all the headers and libs in all those dirs; this directory should be torn down and rebuilt before each new port build to make sure the symlinks are in sync with reality; and then there might be a problem with programs which hard-code library locations (are there any of those still around?) and do not trust rtld and ldconfig..
