So, I have good results, my DESTDIR implementation has proven to work with the simplest ports. I mean ports without USE_* that don’t install files via [pre|do|post]-install target and have a standard configure and/or make script, e.g. net/csup or security/chroot_safe. I haven’t tested ports with dependencies, but that will be the next step. Here’s an example log:
[root@spitfire /usr/ports/net/csup]# make DESTDIR=/bla install

If you want a patch, here it is, but note that this is very-very-very experimental, use it for your own risk! Any feedback appreciated.
And the crowd goes wild…
Great job!
