Uh, yeah, /opt/zimbra is pretty pervasive throughout the code. It would be a major job to make it install in an arbitrary location just now - lots of autoconf stuff required. I think it would be better for the Zimbra people to sort this out in the way that they want to do it long-term rather than attempting any local FreeBSD patches and hacks, which would be completely unmaintainable.

Also, from a porting point of view, this is much less important than getting the system up and running on FreeBSD. Once it's confirmed working in a stable manner and that it can be built consistently using the ports building system, then these issues can be sorted out afterwards.
