Likewise, my latest build instructions are at http://matforge.org/fipy/wiki/InstallFiPy/MacOSX/SnowLeopard#Trilinos1 and PyTrilinos_INSTALL_PREFIX works fine to install into a virtualenv. 

It looks like, at least in the case of virtualenv, that this shouldn't be necessary any more, as the virtualenv's python knows its own prefix and Trilinos/packages/PyTrilinos/CMakeLists.txt seems to ask properly for it in 10.6 and above, but I seem to remember that that didn't work right with Trilinos 10.2 when I originally worked out the virtualenv install.
