Yes. You can't pass parameters into an mtree spec, I'm afraid.

Ports _should_ transparently handle this. If a port doesn't, it's
a bug that should be fixed.
In practice, you'll see a lot of breakage if you change LOCALBASE.
I'm sure there are some ports that hardcode /usr/local and nobody
noticed. Also, I suspect a good many configure scripts check for
things in /usr/local but not in your custom path. (Same for
/usr/X11R6 and X11BASE.)
