The DESTDIR support is broken, and it is clear even from code 
inspection. You should pass the DESTDIR variable, without faking
the support by passing another variable, which contain DESTDIR.
See http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html

With correct support pkgsrc framework wouldn't catch the attempt
to install files outside of destination directory, this mistake
of faking DESTDIR support is typical, you're not the first one,
that I know of, who made it. The patch provides the correct fix.

destdir is passed over from above to po as a part of
localedir/prefix.exec_prefix, see build-dir/Makefile generated by
makemake.
what specific misbehavior are you observing?

This bug report is now marked as "pending"/"works for me".
This means that we think that we cannot reproduce the problem
and cannot do anything about it.
Unless you - the reporter - act within 2 weeks
(e.g., by submitting a self-contained test case),
the bug will be permanently closed.
Sorry about the inconvenience - 
we hope your silence means that 
you are no longer observing the problem either.
