Either I misunderstood something (quite possible :-) or this
conflicts with what Brad said about creating another fake.mtree
(which I already did, although I modified the original which I
 guess is Wrong).

So, should ports handle creating proper
${LOCALBASE}/{bin,man,lib,include,...} even when fake.mtree
doesn't create them?

Further, is INSTALL_DATA_DIR ok for lib and include directories?
(INSTALL_DATA seems to be used for installing libraries and header
 files in /usr/src).

Hmm, doesn't this stuff in bsd.port.mk take care of that?

PORTPATH?= /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:${LOCALBASE}/bin:${X11BASE}/bin
MAKE_ENV+=              PATH='${PORTPATH}' PREFIX='${PREFIX}' \
			...
CONFIGURE_ENV+=         PATH=${PORTPATH}
