It's unorthodox, but you should certainly be able to put the ports tree
wherever in your system you want. You will need to set $PORTSDIR in the
environment or in the configuration files of any ports management
applications you use, but it should all work. Indeed, if you have
configured everything appropriately for an alternate ports dir and
something still insists on using /usr/ports, then that's a bug. Please
report any such that you come across.
Cheers,
Matthew
