I now see that mk/texinfo.mk has:

# Pathname relative to ${PREFIX} of directory holding the info
# files and the Info dir file.
INFO_DIR?=      info

So let's give INFO_DIR a try in /etc/mk.conf as
INFO_DIR=	share/info

To be consistent, I think I will do same for MAN_DIR:

MAN_DIR?=       man
# Pathname relative to ${PREFIX} of directory holding the
# manual pages and man directories.
# Possible: any path you like, e.g. share/man.
# Default: man (i.e. /usr/pkg/man, /usr/X11R6/man)

Some packages use MANDIR, so bsd.pkg.mk could set MANDIR to
${PREFIX}/${MAN_DIR}. I'll look at this closer.

Yes, that would be good.
