Is /usr/local the prefix for the libraries and binaries, too? Then
/usr/local/include
should be in the default path. But I don't know how ports handles these things.

(I don't understand why /usr/local/include isn't by default in the
standard include
path, when /usr/local/bin is in the standard path - but this is probably some
ancient unixism...)
