Every package _could_ do that, but it's in the interest of the maintainers
not to, because nobody wants to be adding a kajillion directories to their
PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. IIRC, on BSD, port-installed stuff defaults to
/usr/local/{include,lib}, while I believe MacPorts defaults to
/opt/local/{include,lib}. So as long as you have those directories in the
appropriate envars configure should be able to find stuff you installed
that way.
