It definitely is attempting to install in the port I'm working on. The port's Makefile does not do so when just running `make`. Do you have any idea why make package would be trying to install? I also tested against a number of existing ports and it tries to install things and fails with a normal user. For example in hexchat I get this error: ===> Switching to root credentials to create /var/db/ports/irc_hexchat su: Sorry ===> Cannot create /var/db/ports/irc_hexchat, check permissions
