building environment

Hi, I set these environment variables
Code: 
PORTSDIR /home/user/tsite/ports/
PACKAGES /home/user/tsite/ports/packages/
PREFIX /home/user/tsite/local/
PORT_DBDIR /hone/user/tsite/db/ports/
I fetch ports with a modified copy of /etc/portsnap.conf, then perform installation of very simple and small programs - arping, portcheck, bandwidthd.

While arping fails to install, what I observe is that it needs the root password to register installation, yet the db/ports directory is owned by the user not root. And when I type the root password, the installed port has an entry in /var/db/ports/[portname] instead of $PORT_DBDIR which is empty.

How to enforce the use of $PORT_DBDIR and not /var/db/ports of the host?

And yes, no jails.
 
I made the change, it starts writing in $PORT_DBDIR but it still asks for the root password for the creation of portname and portname/options.
