Well, as PREFIX is documented and LOCALBASE not, this is probably a bug.
PREFIX is defined as "Where to install things in general Defaults",
so I would expect bsd.pkg.mk to look there for anything.

IMHO something like this should be in bsd.pkg.mk:

.if defined(PREFIX)
LOCALBASE?=     ${PREFIX}
.else
LOCALBASE?=     ${DESTDIR}/usr/pkg
.endif

What's other's opinion ? I'm not confident enough it won't break something,
so I'm waiting for reactions before send-pr'ing it.
