if mbse is precompiled non opensource its should install in /opt, if one 
compiles local it should stick to fhs with /usr/local prefixing, simple to 
break things if one wants

when i get around to do the gentoo ebuild it would be using fhs prefixing with 
/usr

i will for the last time say:

/opt       : is for optical packages that is not installed via opensource that 
is compiled local
/usr/local : bsd default make, make install, did you see freebsd use /usr ?
/usr       : linux default native local compile prefixing
