YOu need to read the Makefile. Look in the install: target for the
possibility of using DESTDIR or prefix. The idea is you wanna tell the
makefile that the destination dir is ${D}  this will cause everything to
be initally installed by make into /tmp/portage/$PN/image, where it can
then be packaged up and then properly "merged" into the system.

Overall I think your ebuild look o.k. (I confess I didn't test it) but
the bottom line is that you _have_ to install to ${D} or else there's no
hope of "unmerge"ing the stuff later. 

Please see "man 5 ebuild" as it contains a veritable wealth of
information. 

I'll test this now.
