Wierd.  Doesn't happen for me (on GNU/Linux).
     
     It looks like mkinstalldirs doesn't know about --prefix.

It shouldn't have to.  line 329 of the Makefile passes it $(DESTDIR)/$(datadir).
DESTDIR is the null string (except when building the distcheck target), datadir 
should be $(prefix)/share 
(set at the top of po/Makefile ).  So it seems that your datadir parameter is 
not getting set .  Possibly a 
BSD vs. Make issue.   But auto{conf,make} should be able to cope with it, so 
it'd be interesting to know the
reason for this.

For the record, here's what I get at that point in the make install 
(./configure --prefix=$(HOME)/xi86):
