libtool uses ${LOCALBASE}, not ${PREFIX}, you should probably set both.

One solution is to use the following patch.  I use it all the
time with no ill-effects.  I proposed it when the libtool
changes were last made but it was shot down.  Just make sure that
libtool can be found in your PATH and it should work for you as
well.

Proposed fix is a bsd.port.mk issue, those go to Satoshi.

Dirk, it looks like the problem was you just needed to set LOCALBASE.  Can 
this be closed now?
