The correct name is BUILDLINK_PREFIX.*, not PKG_PREFIX.*.  If you find
the latter somewhere (I don't recall seeing it, though), it's probably
a package-specific variable and not something standard within pkgsrc.
In that case, you should check for the EVAL_PREFIX functionality.
(But again, I doubt this is the situation and you should just look at
the BUILDLINK_PREFIX.* variables.)
