Did you also try with PKG_DEVELOPER=yes?

It's not a shortcoming, but a convention that all programs are installed 
into ${LOCALBASE}. There are only two packages that don't do so. 
shells/standalone-tcsh and pkgtools/rc.subr. As noted in PR 33899 by 
Joerg, it would be nice if all packages would honour LOCALBASE.
