*installation* is a phase of the pkgsrc build.

extract
patch
build
install
package

When using DESTDIR this changes to:
extract
patch
build
install
package
package-install

For USE_DESTDIR=yes, install, package and package-install are run
privileged. for USE_DESTDIR=full, only package-install needs that.
Which is exactly what is written in the quoten part of the pkgsrc guide.
