Which part do you mean here, the "/usr/pkg" part, or the "blah" part? 

For the "/usr/pkg" part, packages should take all necessary efforts to
install into $PREFIX, whatever that's set to. 

For the "bla" part: insides $PREFIX, pkgs should follow the "normal"
hierarchy in there - programs into bin or sbin, etc.

Just type send-pr and see what happens. When you quit the editor you'll
get a chance to really send or quit (discard) the PR.
