Ha! I changed my concept of "prefix" as I wrote.  My apologies for 
needing a second attempt. I also divide up /var/ and /etc by project.

PREFIX=/opt/abcd

./configure \
--prefix=${PREFIX} \
--sysconfdir=/etc${PREFIX}/dovecot \
--localstatedir=/var${PREFIX}/dovecot \
...

The other way I think of prefix is more generally, if "abcd" is the 
chosen identifier the file prefix is "/opt/abcd" or "/opt/${prefix}". 
This identifier is used as a prefix in several places like the SVR4 
package name and service name.
