No, this should be considered a *doc* bug, as LOCALBASE _is_ what you want
to set, not PREFIX.  PREFIX may change depending on some packages that
_have_ to be installed outside of /usr/pkg et. al. (such as linux_lib and
X11 shared libraries).  LOCALBASE is what you change if you want to override
the /usr/pkg path.
