The problem here is building off of a faulty port.

The port uses CONFIGURE_STYLE=simple when it should be using
CONFIGURE_STYLE=gnu.

CONFIGURE_STYLE=gnu does --prefix='${PREFIX}' --sysconfdir='${SYSCONFDIR}'
for you.  Where ${PREFIX} and ${SYSCONFDIR} are set by bsd.port.mk, if
not set in /etc/mk.conf.

CONFIGURE_STYLE=simple leaves you to your own devices, specifying no
arguments at all, which is why the in-tree port has
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--prefix=${LOCALBASE}.

Now, making that change doesn't fix everything.

It will still install files to ${SYSCONFDIR}/pekwm in the fake directory,
which is not where you want them to go.

The files need to go into ${PREFIX}/share/examples/pekwm, and then be
handled by the DEINSTALL/INSTALL scripts.  When doing this, make sure to
take advantage of the recent 'extra' handling.

IMHO, the best way to handle this is to modify data/Makefile.in.
