The hard part is to get ports writers to think the right way about
DESTDIR after ignoring it for so many years. And once you decide to
go about fixing it, there's no way around that problem.
My preferred solution involves a couple of shell commands, along the
lines of the following:
mount_nullfs ${PORTSDIR} ${DESTDIR}${PORTSDIR}
mount_nullfs ${WRKDIR} ${DESTDIR}${WRKDIR}
mount_devfs foo ${DESTDIR}/dev
chroot ${DESTDIR} cd ${.CURDIR} && make install
A suitable version of the above should allow all ports to be installed
into a jail-ready filesystem hierarchy, while requiring 0 port
changes.

This makes sense, but I did not succeed to use mount_nullfs on an
5.3-RELEASE/amd64 machine, while the same worked well on my 6.1/i386
computer, so I'm not sure mount_nullfs is reliable enough on older systems.
Also, other targets should be supported as well, and the nullmounted
directory should be umounted after he run. Anyway, I find this solution
very good, if we can work this out a bit better, my progress so far
would become pointless...
