If the INSTALL script copies according to the FreeBSD filesystem
conventions, you can write an answer script, and use it to auto-answer
the INSTALL script, e.g.

----8<----8<----
abbe [/tmp] chateau % cat test.sh 
#!/bin/sh

echo Where to install ?
read DIR
echo New user name ?
read USER

echo Installing in $DIR and user is $USER
abbe [/tmp] chateau % printf "/usr/bin\ntycho" |./test.sh
Where to install ?
New user name ?
Installing in /usr/bin and user is tycho
---->8---->8----

Or you can install it from your Makefile, instead of relying on the
INSTALL script.
